Crews are currently constructing the permanent abutment, wing and retaining walls, which will support the permanent bridge structure, on the west side of City Park Lake, north of I-10. Excavation work continues in preparation for the construction of the upcoming retaining walls along I-10 near E. Lakeshore Dr.
Additionally, work continues on the cofferdam cells that will support the City Park Lake bridge foundations. In the coming weeks, pile driving will begin in the cofferdam cells, which will support the footing of the bridge expansion.
Drainage operations are ongoing along E. Harrison St. from Virginia St. to Arkansas St. Crews are installing storm drain pipes and catch basins. This will continue along the project corridor.
While work is ongoing, residents and motorists throughout the corridor can expect to see an increase in truck traffic, as well as an increase in noise during the day. Upcoming major construction activities will be performed during daytime hours between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and continues to be monitored by various noise and vibration monitors throughout the corridor.
