Current work is focused on the substructure units of the first phase of the Seymour bridge. The second major maintenance of traffic phase on I-75, relocating traffic to the outside edges of the I-75, will be implemented in April 2018. The traffic switch will permit completion of the first phase of the bridge. Phase 1 of the bridge construction will be in place through November 2018, weather depending. The project will then build the second half of the Seymour substructure. The second phase of bridge work will require traffic to be moved towards the center of I-75. Phase 2 of the bridge construction will begin in early 2019 with superstructure work to follow in spring 2019. The Project is moving towards completion in June of 2019. |
