There has a been a lot of work going on all around the Browning Road Bridge Area.

A few weeks ago a new traffic pattern was put in place that shifted the traffic coming off the Al-Jo curve and going to 42 South further to the left so it now merges close to the Browning Road overpass. This actually brings this merge back to the way it was a long time ago. 

This lane shift has opened up room to build the four remaining support columns which they have started to dig foundations for. 

Here is a look at the progress on the raised section that will bring the north bound traffic on 295 up to the new mainline overpass. The wall to the right is the section that will carry the south bound 295 traffic. 

At the other side of the overpass all the steel has been set on the section. 

While all this work is going on, more pieces of steel are being staged. These are sitting on the shoulder along 295 South just above the Al-Jo curve. These appear to be the pieces that will span between the column over the highway and will support the beams that actually carry the road. 

More steel pieces are being staged in this area between 76 and 295 where the pumping station is. 

One final piece is staged by the southern end of the overpass likely where it will eventually be installed.
