The beams for the roof of the tunnel were set a couple weeks ago then covered in corrugated steel and recently that have started pour the concrete roof. In the upper right you can also see some new noise barrier work.

Work in the area between the Al-Jo curve and the Browning Road overpass is almost complete for now. The area has been paved and a fence installed on top of the retaining wall.

There is still a lot of work going on below the Browning Road overpass

DSC03385


The have started to excavate some pits in this area which I assume are going to be for support columns for the main line overpass.

The biggest area of progress over the past few weeks has been the installation of the roof beams for what will be come the 76 East to 294 N ramp tunnel. The new 295 mainline will eventually pass over this tunnel. Here is the entrance to the tunnel

Another look at the entrance. You can see one of the remaining beams to be installed in the forground.

Here is a look at the other end of the tunnel.

They continue to expand the retaining wall near the Bellmawr ballfields just below the Browning Road overpass.

DSC03351


They have started to build the end of the ramp where I assume it will transition into a overpass.

DSC03347


There is also a lot of work going on along 42 South just below the Browning Road overpass. A second temporary retaining wall has been installed behind the original one which they have started to remove.

Work on the retaining wall segment along 295 South just above the Browning Road overpass is pretty much complete.

A lot of work is happening along 42 South just below the Browning Road overpass. Looks the the foundations for more support columns are being put in here just like they recently were over by the cemetery.

DSC03224


Here is a closer look at this work

The current state of the overpass support columns on the west bound side of 42.

Forms in place for the concrete Jersey barrier along the retaining wall just above the Browning Road overpass.

The supports for either end of the temporary Browning Road bridge have been complete. You can just see the one on the East bound side in the middle of this picture.

DSC03281


… and here is the one on the west bound side.

DSC03282


Here is the new 76 East to 295 North ramp. This will eventually become a tunnel under the 295 main line overpass.

DSC03229


Forms are in place for more concrete work on the walls of the ramp.

DSC03236


The triangle of land at the 295 South 42 South split. Looks like it will become a storm water retention pond.

Late July 2018


Let’s start by looking at a couple view of the work going between 295 South and the Bellmawr ballfields. You can see a small section of retaining wall has been build along the section of raised roadway that was build during contract 1.

DSC03187


Here is a look at it from Victory Dr. Here you can see a divider that has been build in the middle of the raised section of road.

DSC03178


Here is the view from 295 South.

DSC03203


Here is a look at the same area from the animation done by RDV Systems. The ramp on the right will come from 76 East, and the road on the right will be the new 295 mainline.

Work continues on the new Victory D.

DSC03180


They have started to install re-bar along the retaining wall just above the Browning Road overpass. This will eventually become the concrete barrier that runs along the side of the road.

DSC03199


Work continues on the first support for the temporary Browning Road overpass.

DSC03158


Here is a view of it from the church parking lot.

Looks like they are almost ready for paving.

Now that the Bellmawr Mutual Housing units have been removed they have created a temporary road while they build the new Victory Dr.

DSC03131



A look at the progress on the 76 East to 295 North ramp. The have begun to build forms at the top of the retaining wall on each side which will be used to create the supports for the 295 main line overpass.

DSC03134


Work has finally begun on the first support for the temporary Browning Road bridge.

DSC03139


Here is the retaining wall that is being build along 42 South just above Browning Road

On the other side of the highway they have started to build the support columns for the new 295 main line overpass. You can now start to get a feel for how high the overpass will be.
