Bell Road Overpass 7/2014

With two construction contracts currently underway there has been a lot of activity recently, so I will cover the current progress over the course of a couple posts. Let’s start with the work on the Bell Road overpass. The second half of the bridge is now well underway.

 

Here you can see the new center support under construction. Since this picture was taken the columns have been complete and they have started working on the cross piece. In the background you can see the old support on the 295 Northbound side. They have started to build the new one behind the old one and have just started taking out the old one.

 

The support on the 295 Southbound side appears to be complete.

 

Here’s another picture of the support on the 295 Southbound side. You can also see the rebar on the side of the finished section of the road.

Google Street View has recently been updated in the construction zone. The update is from sometime in the Fall of 2013. The aerial view is till showing the area pre-construction.
