A lane shift has been put in place on 295 North where it passes over Big Timber Creek. The lanes all shift to the right onto the shoulder.

May 2020–Missing Moves

Work on the Missing Moves project is ramping up (excuse the pun) in several areas.


Work going on just south of the Creek Road overpass.

Rumble strips along the edge of 295 have been removed, probably in preparation for lane shifts.

A pile driver is at work in the construction staging yard off of Harding Ave. This is probably for one of the over pass supports.

Piles driven in an area off of Coolidge Road, again probably for overpass supports.

There is also a lot of land clearing going on along 295 North near Leaf Ave. I didn’t get pictures of that.

May 2020–Direct connect


There continues to only be small pieces of work on the Direct Connect project. A week or so ago I saw this work happening around one of the pits that will eventually be the foundation for one of the overpass supports.IMG_20200522_125521


The biggest change I saw this week is that the approach  to where the temporary Browning Road overpass will be has been paved. This is on the church side of the bridge.

There was a good article published over at constructionequipmentguide.com that talks about the various phases of the project with some background on each of the contractors.

A new sign structure is being installed near the Delsea Drive overpass. This should be the last part of Delsea Drive overpass rebuild project.

As part the missing moves project, they have started to install sheet pile along 295 South where the road will be widened.

Over on Harding Ave, the building on this corner has been removed and a staging yard setup. The new ramp overpass will eventually go through here.

The only people working on the Direct Connect project appear to be the graffiti artists.

There is a large pile of steel in the staging. One of the pieces if labeled Wall #9, #11 55’. This may be for retaining wall 11 which is shown in the plans below.

I looks like some work has been going on the past week. The retaining wall by the cemetery has started to wrap around the support columns. The will eventually form the end of the of the new 295 mainline where it transitions into an overpass over 42.

More land clearing has been done for the missing moves project. Here you can see some clearing along 295 North, just above Almonesson Rd.

Some more land clearing along 295 North between Almonesson Rd. and Creek Rd.

The clearing on the south bound side now extends all the way down to Delsea Drive. 295 will be widened to four lanes from where the new ramp ends all the way down to the Delsea drive exit.
