Project Schedule

Final design for this project is complete and construction is scheduled to begin in late July 2023. The work is anticipated to take approximately nine months.

  • Work will be done with minimal restrictions on the eastbound Loop 101 frontage road (Beardsley Road).
  • The installation of the screen wall on the south side of the 16th Street bridge will require some weekend lane restrictions on 16th Street and the eastbound Loop 101 frontage road (Beardsley Road).
