My position is unchanged. I don’t need to know about the 20 days of nightmarish lane shifting contemplated for major work on the big construction project at the Interstate 430-630 interchange at “Big Rock” (named for the rock formation uncovered during construction). I don’t intend to get anywhere near it for any reason.
But thousands of people may not have that option.
For them, the Highway and Transportation Department has provided a link with answers to questions about the work, plus photos, a video of a model of the completed project and more. This from an extensive news release and Q&A on the jump:
On Thursday, July 19 at 9:00 a.m., weather-permitting, the interchange will undergo another round of lane shifts, marking the start of 20 straight days of work—24 hours a day—as crews install more than three-dozen massive steel beams that will provide the framework for the interchange’s new flyover ramps.
