4th Street Underpass

[NavySeabee]

This is finally happening. The City of Moore posted on social media that construction will begin in early 2025. The completion in Summer of 26.

The increased traffic on 12th and 19th street because of this will be a nightmare for 2 years, not looking forward to this.

I wonder if they're going to put a temporary railroad crossing there like they did Robinson and Norman when they were constructing the overpass there?

There will be a temporary shoofly for the railroad tracks, but 4th street will be fully closed and detoured throughout construction.

Initially that was the plan but at some point that idea was abandoned.

In the past week, Allen Contracting has built a fenced-in staging area next to Randal's heat and air. The 4th Street underpass project should start here in the next couple of weeks.

What have they done so far? Last few times I've been by there, it didn't really look like anything was happening still.....

Nothing much yet. Just a construction yard and office. They have been doing more utility work this week though. The mayor said 'early spring' in the newsletter so probably a gradual ramp up until then.

Mainly just prep work. Per the mayor's comments from this past Monday's city council meeting they will be posting on the city's website about a ground breaking ceremony happening sometime around the twentieth.

The excavators have arrived. So after next week I would say for the serious work to start.

I confirmed with the city manager last night that the official ground breaking is on the twentieth with an estimated start date of Mid-March. At this time there are still two utility companies working on moving things with ECD of the first week in March. He also stated 4th would be closed immediately in order to build the shoofly.
