Thank you for your continued patience this week during all of the new traffic changes.
Demolition of the north bridge is complete! Crews worked from 8:30 p.m. until 7 a.m., Monday and Tuesday nights, to remove the structure, half at a time over the interstate. During that work traffic was temporarily re-routed using the ramps. Going forward, the ramps will remain closed 24/7 through the duration of construction.
Demolition clean up continues and bridge crews are scheduled to start exacavations and driving pile next week for construction of the new bridge.

Traffic reminders

 During night one of bridge work, on Monday, crews removed the north bridge over westbound I-94, and returned Tuesday night to remove the other half over eastbound I-94
Other progress underway
In addition to the bridge removal and rubble cleanup, crews also continue prep work on the ramps and on Highway 210. They are building a temporary bypass at Redwood Lane to allow traffic to get in/out during the roundabout construction. Reclaiming has started on Highway 210 in the areas between the bridge and Redwood Lane, and crews are milling the eastbound I-94 on- and off-ramps.
