Heavy construction and long-term closures through fall
With the amount of work needed to get done and to keep our crews and the traveling public safe, we will close the on-ramp bridge and the north half of the intersection long-term. In addition, the northbound bridge will remain closed as crews need to complete the remaining work on the bridge and connecting roadways.
Similar to the construction traffic this past year, we will continue to maintain access for people using West Broadway Avenue.
We will also keep access open along the southern half of the intersection, with one lane in each direction, connecting Oakdale Avenue, Lowry Avenue and Theodore Parkway. We will also maintain a signed path for Grand Rounds Trail users along the project area.

Staying safe

Anticipate early work hours and noise week of June 27
During the week of June 27, there will be times when crews will be working as early as 5 a.m. to pour concrete on the new bridge foundations. Because the pouring and curing the concrete is temperature sensitive, it requires us to start at this time. You can expect increased noise during the concrete pour. We appreciate your continued cooperation and understanding.
Below are the dates:
- Tuesday, June 28
- Thursday, June 30
