Preliminary work -
This phase during the fall of 2002 entails patching and resurfacing the
westbound lanes of I-70, raising the structures carrying TR-183, TR-198,
CH-6, and CH-8 over I-70, and construction of median crossovers.
These efforts are all preparation for the actual reconstruction of I-70,
which will begin on March 1, 2003. At that time, traffic will be
placed head to head in the westbound lanes while reconstruction of the
eastbound lanes progresses.
