Closing off the entire side of MUP between 23 and Saddleback? Well that's going to be really annoying.

Are they going to cut and cover the tunnel section?

2 years is insane. That intersection will be unbearable in traffic

I don't think it's a big deal. Traffic patterns will adjust accordingly. It's better to have a fixed traffic setup than a constantly changing one like a lot of VLW intersections.

It’s had a terrible pattern since November 2022. I just disagree in the principle that we reduce that many lanes for that long.

I’m guessing a lot of traffic will take Saddleback Road.

Actually, I think it’ll be okay. In the new temporary setup, all directions will have two through-lanes and dedicated left- and right-turn lanes. It’ll be way better than right now, where lanes randomly end and a lot of dedicated turning lanes have been removed. Sure, the speed limit will be lower, but it’s bearable.

The Saddleback/111 intersection is a nightmare for active transport and pedestrians as it is....ugh...

Tunnel installed in a weekend

There were cars lined up for blocks with the intersection work around 23 Avenue/111 Street.

Yeah... probably best avoid that area this weekend. I don't think there was even a pedestrian/multiuse path detour in place either.

 

[ntt1]

Traffic change pattern was in place as of this evening. Pedestrian detour is through Skyrattler.

If the construction of this project is anything like the Ellis don’s pre construction (now 7 months late, and not nearly close to being done), then I have no hope that it will take 4 years to complete. So sad how far behind this project has fallen

The detour and lights are up at 23 Avenue/111 Street.
