July 2010
The new northbound Route 65-to-westbound Route 60 "flyover" bridge is nearing completion and work is progressing well on the eastbound Route 60-to-northbound Route 65 "flyover" bridge.
Contractor crews have poured concrete for a portion of the roadway going north from the eastbound Route 60-to-northbound Route 65 "flyover" bridge along northbound Route 65. Asphalt for shoulders is scheduled to be laid during mid-August.
Contractor crews must build concrete forms on the girders of the bridges. The forms keep the concrete in place when it is poured for the bridge decks.
A new westbound Route 60 driving lane is planned between Route 65 and Glenstone Avenue. In August, crews will haul in rock for the base before concrete is poured for the new driving lane.
May 2010
The new flyover ramps are taking shape at the 60/65 interchange in southeast Springfield.
New bridge girders have been installed for the eastbound to northbound and the northbound to westbound flyover ramps. This view is from northbound Route 65 at Route 60.
Paving has begun for the bridge deck for the northbound to westbound flyover ramp.
