We spoke with a representative of the company that’s handling public relations for the construction company and she told us that the nothing is changing from the current design.
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll call the state first thing on Tuesday, when folks get back to work from the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
I agree with Tom’s sentiments and also have a question: Do plans include lengthening the merge of the northbound on-ramp? Thank you for keeping us updated.
I appreciate that you included the information on the overall bridge replacement project. Up to this point that has been missing on the reports of lane closures in the media coverage I have seen. That’s a really nice photo, too.
