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.
Thank you for this! The only site I've found with any reliable/useful status information. I check in every month for new pictures and write-ups - and you do a great job explaining all of it, too! Keep it up for those of us interested in how and when this project will start making some positives impacts on our commute. I'm impatiently waiting for the day they eliminate the left exit from 76E -> 295S :)
