With beam installation wrapping up, the project will soon transition into the next phase, which includes constructing the bridge deck and placing concrete. Work on the westbound bridge is anticipated to be completed this fall, at which point construction activities will shift to the eastbound side.

Once finished, the new bridges will provide wider lanes, enhancing both safety and traffic capacity along this important corridor.
