The contractor has completed a significant amount of the grading with crews backfilling with aggregate placement. String line will be installed; aggregate placement will be completed to trim the final grade in preparation for concrete paving. Slip form and hand formed ancillary concrete paving will continue this week. The box culvert extension along the northbound auxiliary lane will begin with water diversion, pumping, sawing, shoring, and excavation occurring. Electrical bases and pull boxes were installed along the East half of the project. The bridge contractor will continue to wet cure the deck and work on constructing the approach slabs. On going traffic control maintenance, staking, restoration, and erosion control device management will be monitored. New installations of devices will occur as the impact footprint is expanded.
