Construction stages
Construction will occur in two stages; outside and inside lanes. Once construction begins, vehicles will not be able to cross or turn left onto Hwy 14 from Co. Rd. 9. One lane of traffic in each direction on Hwy 14 will be open throughout construction. The bridge improvements at Hwy 57 will start with the inside lanes.
Schedule:
- Stage 1 work completed by mid-May and J-turn completed by late June
- Stage 2 work completed by late August
Stage 1 construction
- Right turn lane extensions and “porkchops” at Co. Rd. 9
- Bridge approach panels
- Overlay
- Shoulder improvements
When the right turn lane extensions and "porkchops" are complete, Stage 2 will begin, even if Stage 1 bridge and overlay work is still being done. This will minimize the need for the Co. Rd. 9 detour.
Stage 2 construction
- Median U-turns and left turn lanes at Co. Rd. 9
- High-tension cable median barrier installation
- Bridge approach panels
- Overlay
- Median improvements
