Two lanes on Route 42 northbound and southbound are also scheduled to be closed at the I-295 Interchange (mile post 14.5) from 8 p.m. Monday, November 6 until 6 a.m. Tuesday, November 7, and continuing overnight on Tuesday, November 7, through Saturday, November 11, at the same time.

Construction will begin in the right and center lanes and will move to the left as work progresses.

Lane closures on Route 42 northbound are necessary to construct bridge joints, and the closure on Route 42 southbound are necessary for paving.

The $180 million federally-funded project will build new ramps connecting Route 42 northbound to I-295 southbound, and I-295 northbound to Route 42 southbound in order to allow for the direct movement of traffic between the two roadways.

These are commonly known as the โ€œmissing moves.โ€

The project also included the demolition and reconstruction of the Creek Road Bridge over I-295 between Route 42 and Almonesson Road.

The majority of the project will be built off of the roadways and will have minimal impact on traffic on Route 42 and I-295.

The project is expected to be completed in late 2023.

One reply on “Traffic Alert: Route 42 SB Ramp Closures at Leaf Ave. This Week As Missing Moves Project Nears Completion”

This was supposed to be a 10 year project. They’re 2 years overdue and counting. I don’t feel that this will be complete in my lifetime.
