We were asked by multiple media outlets if Winter Storm Inga pushed planned work at all and we identified all planned closures for this weekend as work that has been pushed.
We were incorrect. Not all work is delayed.
Williams Brothers' plan to set steel support beams to make the southbound I-410 connector to westbound Hwy 151 is on like Donkey Kong this weekend. Expect to see the closure in place around 9 p.m. Friday and we'll be off the road by 5 a.m. Monday.
This means some pretty major closures if you're working or playing or shopping around these parts on the city's northwest side. The westbound frontage road of Hwy 151 and the southbound frontage road of I-410 will both close at the intersection (along with their accompanying turnarounds) for the weekend. Traffic on each frontage road will turn right at the intersection and turn around to return to the intersection and continue as planned.
Here's what we mean:
For those wondering, yes we will need more weekend closures at the 151-410 interchange. And the interchange of I-410 and US 90, for that matter. These closures will be announced in coming weeks as they are scheduled. Expect overnight closures at 151-410 to impact the late-night crowd for the next week or two, though.
As for the overall completion date of the 151-410 interchange ... we're looking at having things wrapped up this fall.
