What's Ongoing?

MSE Wall Work

Precast panels (panels that are fabricated off-site and installed onsite) are currently being installed to complete the MSE Walls to begin substructure work for the new Southland bridge for the ultimate road alignment.

Southland MSE Wall Progress, July 11, 2025.

Anchor Wall construction under the existing Southland bridge is ongoing. An anchor wall is a structural component designed to provide lateral support and stability to adjacent elements—typically retaining walls, abutments, or approach slabs.

What's Completed?

Substructure Work

Pile extensions for the new bridge structure have been completed. Adding extensions to bridge piles is done to reach the depths required to support large bridges, while helping to make the transport and installation of materials easier by enabling components to be delivered in smaller segments.
