Browning Road Overpass Now Open!

A few days ago the new Browning Road overpass finally opened, and opened sooner then expected. In the first two pictures you can see the temporary bridge on the right, the removal process has begun for this. There are sidewalks on both sides of the new overpass but the one on the right is closed off because of the work being done at either end to remove the temporary overpass. 

 

This week there are overnight closures on Rt 42 to allow for the removal of the bridge deck on the temporay overpass, you can see the area that was removed over the south bound lane. It appers the overpass will be removed the same way it was installed. It will be slid off to the cemetary side and diassembled piece by piece. The redish column on the left is a temporary support that will be needed to hold up the end of the overpass as it is pulled away. 

Browning Road Overpass June 2025

The new Browning Road overpass is nearing completion and word is that it will open on June 13th. You can see in the pictures below that is is pretty much complete and the last step is to do the final layer of asphalt and redirected traffic from the temporary bridge to the new overpass. 

You can also see in the last picture that they have started to install the supports that will be needed to remove the temporary bridge which I assume will happen soon. This is a major milestone since this piece holds up the next steps in the project.
