Fairfield/Gilmer Update

I biked to the intersection reconstruction project again to check on progress and found that the Gilmer Road uphill approach to the new bridge has been graded and paved, as has the cloverleaf ramp down to Fairfield. The photo below looks east towards the intersection, and the paved ramp is visible heading off to the left.



The second photo is from the western end of Gilmer looking east at the continuation of Gilmer once the bridge beams and decking are constructed (with Fairfield running below.) You can see that the concrete work for the beam supports is nearing completion.



This next photo is on Fairfield looking north towards what will be the overpass for Gilmer (by the cranes.) A Honda Civic was being driven along this stretch by a guy who rolled down his window and said to me, "I'm 4 wheelin!" (I didn't know Civic sedans had 4 wheel drive capability!)
