Design & Construction Details

Total Reconstruction Project

Design

Final design is currently underway for the mainline section of this corridor. Fieldwork is also still being conducted to inform the design team of key features as they make every effort to minimize impacts to the community and the environment. In the coming months expect to see the following project activities in the corridor:

Utility line investigations
Archaeology testing
Drilling to conduct underground testing for retaining wall locations

A public meeting is planned for late spring to share findings and collect feedback on the design plans, noise study findings, and property impacts.

Construction

Construction of the mainline widening is expected to begin in 2027. The status of the overhead bridge reconstruction is detailed below.

Indian Creek Road (SR 2018) Overhead Bridge at Milepost A52.30

Construction began in March 2023.
A temporary traffic signal is in place on Indian Creek Road to keep a single lane of traffic moving safely through the construction zone.
Traffic is currently on the southern portion of the new structure and crews are starting on the northern portion of the existing bridge.
Utility relocations occurred through the 2023/2024 winter months.
The next steps include the removal of the existing bridge beams, demolition of the existing piers and abutments, and construction of the northern portion of the new bridge.
Later this year the contractors will complete the roadway approaches to the new bridge.
The project is scheduled to be substantially complete and open to two-way traffic on Indian Creek Road late in 2024 or early 2025.
