On July 30, 2022, workers paved the new temporary on-ramp at Broadway Road to access westbound Interstate 10.
The temporary road begins at the intersection of Broadway Road and 52nd Street.
First, a crew installs asphaltic pavement.
Then, a worker uses a roller to compact the pavement.
The temporary road will allow more space for workers to continue construction of the new Broadway Road bridge.
Crews install forms for the abutment cap, which will support the bridge girders and deck, for the new bridge that will connect westbound US 60 to westbound I-10.
Crews assemble forms in preparation for pouring the new Broadway Road bridge deck, which is the part of the bridge you drive across.
Workers drill the shaft for the foundation of the new Western Canal multiuse bridge.
Workers tie rebar for the foundation of the new Western Canal multiuse bridge.
Crews pour a stem wall that will support part of the new Broadway Road bridge deck.
A crew installs forms for the abutment cap, which will support the bridge girders and deck, for the new bridge that will connect westbound US 60 to westbound I-10.
A crew removes the center lane line before restriping southbound SR 143.
During the full closure of SR 143 Aug. 12-15, workers repaired damaged pavement.
During the full closure of State Route 143 Aug. 12-15, crews placed temporary construction barrier to establish a safe work zone.
This truck-mounted water blaster removes SR 143 lane lines and vacuums the used water and debris at the same time so the pavement is clean and just slightly damp.
Over the fall months, crews will begin connecting these bridges to the roadway and in 2023 traffic will shift to the new bridges.
On Aug. 20, 2022, crews poured the new 48th Street bridge deck over eastbound Interstate 10.
The bridge deck is the part of the bridge you drive across.
On Aug. 20, 2022, workers installed a new Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) between 40th and 32nd streets.
Over the course of the project, crews will install 16 new Dynamic Message Signs along the
11-mile corridor.
