Direct Connect April 2024

There hasn't been a lot of easily visible work on the Direct Connect project over the past few months but recently there were a few visible changes. 

Work has started up again on the second bridge abutment for the Browning Road overpass. The first was complete a while back, and the other side was demolished but then work appeared to stop. In the picture below you can see the four rebar cages that will for support columns for the new abutment. 

Another recent change, move concrete structures have been poured on top of the columns which will support the new 295 main line overpass. 

 

The rest of the work has focused on rebuilding the collapsed section of the roadway. A temporary retaining wall has been build to hold up the back portion of the roadway so work can be done to create a stronger foundation for the from retaining wall.
