Around noon today I took a self-guided tour through the east end of the I-64 construction area. Let me begin by saying I did not trespass into the construction zone. I stayed on the sidewalks of the McCutcheon and McKnight overpasses.
I would like to warn anyone reading this, DO NOT go onto the closed section of the highway or the bordering green space. This is an active construction site with lots of trucks and heavy equipment moving about. It is very dangerous area, you could get injured or killed.
With that said, things are moving right along on the east end of the construction zone. Just east of McCutcheon, a group of large bulldozers and loaders were removing an entire hillside. Semi sized dump trucks were lined up to remove the dirt. This is all prep work for the new fly over ramp from I-64 to I-170.
On the west side of McKnight, workers were busy removing the on-ramp from McKnight to westbound I-64. Tree trimming crews also dotted the area adjacent site, trimming back limbs.
I plan to take a tour of the central and western sections of the I-64 construction zone this weekend. Hopefully I can get some photos of the Lindbergh overpass being torn down.
