Recent Progress
This project will have two contracts.  The PS& E for the first, US 2 Lowering, is approximately 30% complete.  The PS&E for the second, US 2 to Wandermere is approximately 10% complete.  Work on this project has slowed recently due to additional staffing needs on the Francis Avenue to Farwell Road Project. Ongoing work in the Project Office includes investigating alternative bridge and retaining wall designs, continuing hydraulic design, finalizing the US 2 interchange plans for approval, continuing staging plan design, designing frontage roads, and preparing preliminary contract plan sheets.
