Design & Construction Details

Total Reconstruction Project

Design

Final design is currently underway for the mainline section of this corridor and environmental studies continue to advance in support of the environmental permitting process. Fieldwork is also underway to inform the design team of key features as they make every effort to minimize impacts to the community and the environment. In recent weeks, you may have come across field crews conducting:

Utility line investigations
Streams and wetlands
Geotechnical testing for structures and stormwater basins

An Open House Plans Display was conducted on May 23, 2023. The team is working through the feedback provided and conducting follow-up studies as needed. Please note that the noise analysis displays shared at the public meeting are being updated and will be posted to the website when complete. Community noise meetings will be scheduled before final decisions are made on locations. Check out the News and Public Involvement page to review the Plans Display exhibits. A comment form is also posted if you have feedback.

Construction

Construction of the mainline widening is expected to begin in 2028. The status of the overhead bridge reconstruction is detailed below.

Construction began in March 2023. The bridge plan may be found here.
The bridge is now open to two-way traffic and is considered substantially complete as scheduled.
Minor work will be under way into spring 2025 such as patching and stabilization. There may short-term lanes restrictions during this final phase of work.
