Expect work zones on Highway 50 to be changing rapidly as crews clean up the Glenbrook area and begin moving traffic back and forth between the eastbound and westbound tunnels at night for paving and lighting work.

This month construction crews will finish placing concrete blocks at the Glenbrook worksite.

Near Cave Rock the focus is on lighting and aesthetics, with some final paving work to be completed. Asphalt paving began through the westbound tunnel, in the ditch south of Cave Rock.

 

Most of the new concrete barrier rail near Glenbrook has been constructed, the small remaining sections will be completed shortly.

The drainage pipes beneath the roadway up near Glenbrook have been installed, while the existing ones were repaired with pipe liners.

 

The aesthetic work on the exterior of the new tunnel has begun.
