February 2018 Part 2

A lot of work is going on along the retaining wall next to the cemetery. They are excavating along the wall and have started to install pilings. Eventually the ramp from 76 East to 295 North will pass under the new 295 mainline and connect to it in this area.

The quality on these first two pictures isn’t great, but you can still see the area where the excavation is going on.

Here is a look at the work from the other side of the road.

Here is a look at the area from the church parking lot on Browning road.

February 2018

Construction of the replacement units for the Bellmawr Park Mutual Housing is complete and people have started to move in. Here is the one off of Essex Ave:

Peach Road:

Victory Way has temporarily been connected to Willow Place. Here is the view looking towards Browning Road. This will eventually go away to allow for the construction of the ramp from 76 East to 295 South.

Finished Interchange Simulated Pictures and Videos

RDV Systems produces 3D simulations of construction projects so you can see what the final product will look like. They have posted a video and some images of a simulation of the complete direct connect project.

December 2017

Some new sheet pile being put in below the cemetery leading up the to retaining wall that was build over the past year.

Demolition of the old 76 East to 295 North overpass has started. They are doing periodic overnight lane closures to do this.

Work continues on the area along 295 South just before Browning Road.

Work also continues on the area where the supports for the temporary Browning road bridge will be.

A temporary retaining wall has been installed along 295 South just below the Browning Road overpass and they have started to excavate between the wall and the road.

December 2017

The large median barrier between 76 East and West has been removed and the area re-paved.

At the end of the Al-Jo curve the lanes have been shifted slightly to the left, a new barrier and temporary lighting has been installed on the right side.

This area between the Al-Jo curve and the Browning Road overpass will eventually become the ramp from 76 East to 295 South. You can see the new storm drains by the retaining wall which is how far over the new ramp will go.

Prep work continues for the installation of the temporary Browning Road overpass.

One of the approaches to where the temporary Browning Road overpass will be.

Lots of earthwork is going on at the corner of the cemetery. The new 295 Main Line will eventually pass over this area.

The new units of the Bellmawr Park Mutual Housing project along Essex Ave.

Off of Peach.

Work going on along the ramp from 42 North to 295 North.

Now that the ramps to 295 North have been re-located work has continues on retention wall along the cemetery.

It’s a little blurry but you can see the start of the form work to finish the wall.

Work along the ramps to 295 North.

They have begun re-paving the 295 South lanes from Blackhorse Pike down to the temporary bridge just before the Al-Jo curve.

295 South just before the Browning Rd overpass. You can see the completed center support columns for the temporary Browning Road overpass. You can also see that they have removed a section of the barriers between these lanes and the lanes coming from 76.

They have also started to remove the barrier between the North and South bound lanes of 76 south of Browning Road. This section has had drainage installed and paving completed.
