Scheduled Completion Due: Spring, 2012
Work progress was slowed by the rain showers during December.
Work Completed in December:
- Formed, placed reinforcing steel and poured all remaining bridge slabs, Spans 3 to 9
- Poured concrete curb for the center median, approximately 40% complete
- Placed conduit for the new signals at RM 620
- Removed the existing traffic signals and installed new signals at the RM 620 intersection.
Note: The new signals are clear of all of the work to construct the O’Connor Drive Extension and the future RM 620 widening.
Placed remaining flex base near RM 620 intersection, all flex base is in place from RM 620 to north of the bridge
Proposed Work Schedule for January :
Place forms and pour approach slabs at each end of bridge
Pour concrete railing on each side of the bridge
Excavate and embank material to final cross section south of the bridge
Begin construction of hazardous material traps (2 locations)
Note: The hazardous material traps are small concrete structures located in the ditches on each side of the creek. They are designed to catch the first ½ inch of runoff of a rain event and filter the runoff before it drains into Lake Creek. Providing filtration of any runoff before it drains into a creek is a requirement of the TCEQ.
