Tuesday, May 15th – the culvert replacement process nears end.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tuesday morning, May 15th traffic was still flowing one lane at a time through the construction zone where the culvert was being repaired. In the photo above you can see the new guard rails, and the end of the new culvert peeking out from the embankment. When I returned from the Sault later that afternoon, the lanes had been paved, and it seemed as if the removal and replacement of the culvert was complete. From failure to culvert replacement and pavement paved… four days.<\/p>\n

Yesterday traffic was flowing through the area where the culvert was replaced. With the large section of culvert spanning the three lanes, traffic was allowed to go through alternating directions while work continued on placing the culvert on either side (joining the center span and underneath the embankment, and a bit further). Keeping lanes closed also allows for worker safety by providing space for equipment, and worker movement back and forth on the construction site.<\/p>\n
