Design Construction Impacts
Design: Design is essentially complete, but construction is continuing to use their expertise to answer RFI's and NDC's.
Construction: Erosion control has increased due to wet weather. The Construction schedule has had some weather impacts, but the DB has revised their schedule to accelerate work and obtain additional workforce as necessary. Anticipate the need for several weekend closures for opening 41st St. Interchange ramps and the new bridge to traffic. Continued night closures will be required for girder installation and hauling materials to the construction sites. Ongoing fabrication of the MSE and Noise walls panels.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
No DOE cited violations, but two Non compliance incidents occurred in this quarter that lead to activaton of the Environmental Compliance Assurance procedures. DOE has inspected the project and erosion control and maintenance issues have been corrected by the Design-Builder.
|
Impacts to Traffic
Lanes will remain open during peak day time commute hours. Weekend ramp and nighttime lane closures will be required. Expect several lane closures as construction work accelerates this coming summer.
