Progress
Work has begun south of SR-297 (Bryant Bridge) and continues between SR-297 and North River. A substantial portion of the cut and fill is complete on the new portion of the road between North River and Oak Glen. Construction is in process of the roadway bridge over North River, and the truss span of the pedestrian bridge over North River has been set. Over 1,600 feet of new sanitary sewer lines have been installed.
Upcoming impacts
- Beginning in March 2024, there will be a lane closure on SR-297 and a lane shift on Rice Mine Road which may cause traffic delays. This is related to SR-297/Rice Mine Road intersection improvements.
- Beginning in March 2024, there will be additional periodic lane closures on the east side of McWright’s Ferry Road for water and sanitary sewer installation.
Next steps
- Continue water & sewer improvements on McWright’s Ferry Road
- Complete girder placement and begin deck construction on both bridges
- Continue earthwork operations at multiple points on the project including south of SR-297, McWright’s Ferry Road between SR-297 and North River, and McWright’s Ferry Road south of Oak Glen
