Roadwork

The bridge deck was successfully poured this week, marking a major project milestone. Crews will begin curing operations and continue work on approach panels and bridge elements over the coming weeks.

Embankment construction and retaining wall work continue north and south of the bridge. Most retaining wall construction is expected to be substantially complete by the end of next week.

Curb and gutter installation is planned at several locations, including the east roundabout and northbound entrance ramp area.

Utility work

Utility crews are making progress in multiple areas, including Morrison Avenue, 269th Avenue, north of the bridge, and along County Road 4.

Safety reminder

Drivers may experience heavier congestion during peak travel times due to construction activity and seasonal traffic.

Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians are encouraged to slow down, follow posted signage, and use designated crossings.

Crews are actively monitoring traffic operations and making adjustments to improve safety and visibility.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on this important project.
