Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
Pedestrian and bike traffic along 19th Street will be moved on to the old 19th Street pavement so work can begin on replacing and re-grading the sidewalk. The separation between bikes, pedestrians and traffic is a line of white candlestick barricades. Please drive and walk carefully.
They have completed pouring most of the concrete for trails and seating areas on the lid. Placement of final fill on the lid continues, and they are beginning to install the irrigation system.
The bridge monument pours on the south side are complete and ready for rock facing. Installation of the bridge rail arch on the south end will begin this week.
The drainage work in the northeast quadrant continues as they pour the new concrete channel. There has been some 6th Ave. trail use from the closure up the hill to the south and then over to West Campus Drive via a social trail. This trail is blocked during the drainage work because of equipment on the trail and the open ditch to the west. There will also be some lane closures on US 6 to allow safe access for concrete trucks. This work should finish this week.
Excavation will be completed on the mainline of US 6 on the south side of the lid this week. Soil nail walls should be complete this week, and final coping will begin on those walls.
Construction of the water quality pond near the hang gliding landing field continues.
There is a construction viewing area in the northwest corner that can be accessed from Parfet Estates Drive, and will be an excellent location to view ongoing work. Please park legally.
