Westside Parkway/Calloway Drive Interchange
Project Description:
This project will construct a new east-west freeway extending from Truxtun Avenue to Heath Road. Initial construction work includes a six-lane freeway from Mohawk Street to Allen Road (4.25 miles) with full interchanges at Mohawk Street, Coffee Road and Calloway Drive. Construction also includes a bridge over the Parkway at Jewetta Avenue, a signalized intersection at Allen Road, and sound walls adjacent to residential areas. The Parkway sections from Mohawk Street east to Truxtun Avenue and from Allen Road west to Stockdale/Heath will be built as funds become available.
Project Status:
Construction started in early 2010 and is expected to take about three years to complete. Check current construction activity.
Work is underway on the four miles of new sound walls included in the project.
Traffic has been moved onto a four-lane paved detour at Calloway Drive. The detour, which includes two lanes in each direction, allows traffic to continue using Calloway Drive while the contractor builds a new bridge at this location.
The contractor is currently working on bridge abutments at Coffee Road. Approximately 700 cubic yards of concrete was placed on May 25, 2010 for the bridge's west abutment. Another concrete pour for this abutment will occur in the near future.
The contractor is installing a new sewer line at the Coffee Road/Brimhall Road intersection. All traffic movements through this intersection have been maintained.
Shell Oil will begin working on the relocation of an oil line that runs down the center of the road on June 1, 2010. The oil line is in conflict with the new bridge’s center columns. The majority of the work will take place at night, between the hours of 8:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. This night work will require the closure of the two northbound lanes from Brimhall Road south to the Cross Valley Canal bridge. The center lane will be open during daytime hours. All southbound lanes are expected to remain open during the oil line relocation.
Once the oil line relocation is complete, the contractor is planning to begin work on the bridge’s center support columns. This work will require the closure of the inside lanes in both directions, leaving two lanes open in each direction.
Utility relocation work is underway at Allen Road.
