On July 29, workers began work to replace the eastbound Interstate 10 on-ramp at 32nd Street.
An excavator scoops up the concrete rubble and loads it into a dump truck.
Near the Broadway Road bridge over I-10, a crew fills in a trench after installing drainage pipe.
A crew begins constructing an MSE wall (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) that will retain fill material for the approach to the new high-occupancy vehicle ramp between I-10 and State Route 143.
While a small excavator holds up the wall’s concrete panel, two workers fit it in place.
A truck dumps a load of concrete into a conveyer during a paving operation beside the westbound I-10 off-ramp at 40th Street.
The paving machine processes the concrete, turning it into what will become a drivable surface.
Crews work the new slab, smoothing and shaping the concrete surface.
Other workers use floats to put the final surface on the new pavement.
The paving crew follows along behind the paver to finish the surface.
Crews grade and use a roller near the Broadway Road bridge over Interstate 10.
Next to the westbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road, crews are tying rebar for the half of a straddle bent pier cap, which transfers the load from the superstructure to the piers, for the State Route 143 high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) ramps.
One crew ties the rebar that will eventually be encased in concrete.
Another crew forms the next piece of rebar cage that will eventually be placed inside the concrete forms to create the pier cap
Workers begin construction of a trench box with the assistance of a track hoe.
While the concrete cutter works on the ramp, an excavator smooths and compacts the slope next to the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at 32nd St.
A concrete cutter cuts seams in the new pavement, so that if a crack develops in the future, it is less likely to spread beyond the seam, which makes it easier to repair.
Workers closed the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at 32nd Street in July to reconfigure the ramp.
