Took these about 10AM Sunday:
Thanks Pete! Fascinating!
Great pics Pete thanks!
Wish they coulda hung the north to west bridge too my guess that will be next pretty soon. Once they get those flyovers open it will be less cars going over the main bridges (235/44), which will help congestion. Currently cars entering/exiting that clover circle are what messes ip rush hour. We basically have little over 1 year left! Can’t wait.
Then to help pay for it the cops will be out in full force since traffic will unimpeded from Edmond to downtown and thats a lot of speeders lol. As is they catch em from turnpike down to 63rd then 50th to I40.
This is my favorite project to watch right now.
I love that Pete loves taking photos of the progress.
Good thing the weather was good. Looks like once they get the crane down and finish the NB to EB ramp, they can move NB traffic onto the new bridge over the Deep Fork.
Why do these flyovers swing out so far? Seems like these take up much more land than the flyovers in Texas - or is that just the photo?
To me it looks like a reasonable degree of turn lol
Its all of the above but also, the state authorized the TX dept. Of Transportation to issue something like $6 billion of bonds for freeway construction. On top of that, the state has several regional toll road authorities which have resulted in the construction of around 25 toll roads.
The Texas Legislature has imposed a moratorium on any further toll road construction.
TxDOT probably hires better staff, too. Some of ODOT's quality control leaves a lot to be desired, even on things where doing it right costs nothing (things like proper spacing and centering on signs, for instance).
There was a death here early Saturday morning. I wonder if poor visibility in the construction zone contributed (no lights).
