June 21, 20233 yr Will see if weather may delay things. News said the asphalt needs 12 hrs. to set. Starting tonight we are in for unsettled weather with periods of rain every day for the next 10 days! Better break out some big tarps.
June 21, 20233 yr They're setting the southbound moment slabs this morning. They've changed camera angle to an overhead view so you can get a better view of what's going on.

June 21, 20233 yr Moment slabs on the SB side are set. So now both the NB and SB moment slabs are in. They're leveling out a base course right now on the SB side. Hard to tell if it's the subbase or aggregate base course.

June 21, 20233 yr I wish we could livestream every piece of construction that happens on that highway.
June 22, 20233 yr They set the median barrier and finished paving last night. Pretty much done now. Amazing job.
June 22, 20233 yr Read where Shapiro ordered that road dryers be brought in from Pocono speedway so they can paint lines on the new lanes.

Wow I haven't looked at the repairs yet but that's pretty small. How many lanes is that supposed to be? It thought they were doing 3 lanes or something?

June 22, 20233 yr 3 minutes ago, Procus said: No shoulders - that's all for traffic yeah I get it would be tight, I just read though it's supposed to be 6 lanes total .. but that image doesn't look like 3 lanes on either side: I mean, I can see three sedans fitting in that space but man it's gonna be tight.
June 22, 20233 yr i read that it used to be 4 lanes in each direction...each 12'wide...and the temporary fix will be 3 10' wide lanes in each direction.
June 22, 20233 yr Could you imagine a big tractor trailer squeezing into one of those lanes. Still better than having it closed down.

June 22, 20233 yr I give it 2 hours MAX once it's opened up until there's a wreck there or close to there
June 22, 20233 yr 1 hour ago, mikemack8 said: I give it 2 hours MAX once it's opened up until there's a wreck there or close to there It's no different than the staging that was used when they built the bridge back in 2012. 3 lanes in each direction back then as well.
June 22, 20233 yr My apologies, I may have spoken too soon. Looks like they were doing some more paving today. They may have just put up to the binder course last night and were doing the wearing surface course today. Hard to tell from how far out the camera is if they've paved up to the final surface yet.

Ugh, I can't trust you anymore.
June 23, 20233 yr Nascar to the rescue! Love that they also sent the pace car from Pocono raceway. LOL -Great job, will be open for traffic today!
