As of November 2024, construction is on schedule and will continue shifting traffic into subsequent stages over the next several months.

The next shift will be off all three lanes of the Northbound inner roadway (car lanes) at Structure 87.10N.  All three lanes will be shifted +/- 24 feet to the left onto the newly constructed bridge deck and will eliminate the existing cattle chute (single lane separated from the other two lanes).  The shift is scheduled for the night of Thursday, November 7th.

Motorists should expect minimal, if any, delays while the shifts are taking place.  The rain date for the traffic shift would be the following week (exact night TBD).
