Missing Moves December 2022

 The support beams for the ramp over 295 have all been installed. This will eventually be the ramp from 42 North to 295 South.





Support beams from the ramps over 42 have been staged in the center median and temporary supports have been setup to help with the installation of the beams. This will eventually be the ramp from 42 North to 295 South.





A few days later the first set of beams was installed on the center support. It can't be seen in this picture but this is just a small section of the beams on the center support, they do no extend over the road on either side.

Missing Moves November 2022


The main structure of the new Missing Moves ramps are pretty much complete with two exceptions, a gap where the ramp passes over 42, and a second gap where it passes over 295. The center support for the 42 gap is currently being built. A steel cross support for the ramp over 295 was recently installed along with the first couple of support beam for the road bed.

Here is an aerial photo thanks to 42Freeway.com, along with some of my photos from the ground. 







Additional support beams are staged near by.
 


On the north bound side of 295 work continues on fencing near the Creek Road overpass and barriers along the new ramp to 42 South.

Equipment is in place to start working on the second bridge abutment for the new Browning Road overpass. I am assuming the pile driver will be used to but in sheet pile to retain the earth so that the old abutment can be removed.

Final work on the first of the new Browning Over overpass abutments. 



Preparation work in between the lanes of 76 East for a new support for the Browning Road overpass. The old overpass had once center support, but the new longer overpass  will require two.
