November 2019

I haven’t posted an update in a while because there hasn’t been much going on with the project, things have really slowed down over the past few months. At this point it looks like a lot of the work is being held up by the need to rebuild the Browning Road overpass. They started that part of the project quite a while ago, but it stopped at some point and has still not resumed.


The shoulder of 42 South has been widened and new drainage added right around the split for 42 and 295 south.

Rumble strips have been added to the upside of the ramp from 295 North to 76 West. This may be a result of the truck accident that happened a while back and damaged the noise barrier.

Speaking of noise barriers, the ones along that ramp have been removed. The noise barrier plans for the project do show a barrier there, so I am not sure if this removal was just due to the truck damage, of if there were always plans for a different barrier configuration there.

This is the start of what will eventually be the ramp from 42 North to 295 North. This section look complete.

A little bit of cleanup and paving work has been done where 295 North splits off of 76 West.

The hole in the wall that was being used for construction access has been completely closed up.

New trees have been planted around the Black Horse Pike exit.

  1. I think the barrier was removed due to the truck damage.

    1. That was my initial thought, but why remove all of it, since there were sections that appeared undamaged, unless there was damage that just wasn't visible.

  2. Thanks for the update! Any idea as to why the Browning Road temporary bridge is delayed?

    1. I heard a rumor that there were land acquisition problems a while back but I don't know for sure. There was activity around the cemetery side over the last week so things might be moving again.

    1. No, nothing much going on with the project. I have seen some work being done on the cemetery side of the Browning Road overpass but not any visible progress.
