Febraury 2019

A few weeks ago the traffic from 42 North going to 295 N was re-routed into the newly constructed tunnel. Here you can see the three lanes going into the tunnel where they merge down into two. The traffic lights are normally green and are only used when they need to close a lane in the tunnel

The tunnel walls are lined with a large number of lights. The number of lights that are turned on seems to vary by the time of day.

At the other end of the tunnel, paving work is being done to get ready for when the 76 East ramp lanes are re-routed into the tunnel.

Work continues on the retaining wall about the tunnel

Work also continues along 42 North by the ramp from 295. This is where the ramp from 42 North to 295 North will eventually go.

February 2019

A new work area has started up recently along 42 North just after the ramp from 295 South. This is where the ramp from 42 North up to the new 295 main line will eventually be.

 Work on the other side of 42/76 has slowed down recently, although they still do continue to put in pilings in this pit. I assume there will be a support for the overpass here.

The most activity recently has been around the new tunnel along 295 North. By the time you read this traffic coming off of 42 North will have been re-routed into this tunnel. Over the next few weeks the ramp from 76 East will be re-routed into that tunnel also which will free up room to continue construction of the main line overpass.

Some finishing work has been done at the end of the tunnel. The hill side has been cleaned up and covered in stone and a railing as been added to the top of the retaining wall.
