Design Construction Impacts
Ongoing project design on roadway and bridge structure widenings, walls, drainage, traffic planning, and utility relocations. Construction continued on erosion and silt control fencing, temporary lighting, restriping and crane pad preparation for bridge foundation work in the median. Inside shoulder median work began in the north segment NB and SB as did pavement grinding SB. Drilling for the foundation of the median pier for the new Broadway Exit Flyover is now scheduled to start in early October and continue with column construction and additional foundations on the NB outside shoulder.
