| 説明 | Crews officially started construction on May 19 on the first project made possible by Gov. Bev Perdue’s new Mobility Fund. Phase two of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project in Davidson County will widen 3.8 miles of I-85 north of the Yadkin River and reconstruct the Belmont Road interchange. NCDOT broke ground last September on the first phase of the project, which involves replacing eight bridges and widening 3.3 miles of I-85. Phase two extends the reach of the interstate widening from north of N.C. 150 to just north of I-85 Business, creating four lanes in each direction. Work on both phases will be concurrent and should be complete in 2013.Phase two includes moving roughly 1 million cubic yards of dirt, which would fill 314 Olympic-sized swimming pools, and paving with about 117,000 tons, the equivalent of 7,800 tractor trailers, of asphalt. The Joint Venture team will utilize an innovative approach to minimize the effects of transporting these materials on motorists. Rather than relying on the highway to haul them, the contractor will use new ramps built from the bridges at Clark and Belmont roads into the I-85 median, which will take 13,000 truckloads off the interstate. |
