Bell Road Bridge 11/14/2013

The steel in now in place on the Bell Road bridge and preliminary work has started on the bridge deck.

42 North Interim Ramp

Work is progressing quickly on the new interim ramp from 42 North to 295 North. Here is a diagram of where this new ramp will be. This ramp will be used by anyone going North bound on 42 that wants to go North on 295. This will help alleviate alot of the weaving of traffic that now has happens at the end of the ramp that comes up from the southern portion of 295. This is being called an interim ramp because it will be there through multiple phases of the construction but will be removed at the end of the project. 42 North to 295 North will eventually be handled by a new ramp which will connect to the 295 mainline.

 

Here is a picture from 11/14 showing that asphalt has gone down on the new ramp.
