Direct Connect July 2025

With the new Browning Road overpass complete and the rebuild of the collapsed section nearing completion attention has turned to building the support columns that will eventually hold up the new 295 overpass. Here is a picture of that area thanks to 42 Freeway.  




Here I have marked up the purpose of each of the columns. Blue will be for 295 South, Red will be for 295 North and yellow will be the new ramp from 42 North to 295 North. These structures will be a combination of supports built earlier int he project and new ones being built between the north and south bound lanes of 42. One more set of support will eventually be built between the two sets of south bound 42 lanes. 



Here is a look at the columns from ground level.

Browning Road Overpass July 2025

 A few weeks ago the new Browning Road overpass opened, so work has now turned to removing the temporary overpass. Most of the bridge decking has been removed and the temporary support columns have been setup. I assume this will be removed just like it was installed, sliding it over to the cemetery side and disassembling it piece by piece.
