Default Completion of 466a

Hi all... Just wondering if 466a is now open between Powell and 301.

Yes it is open as I went through that way early this morning.
But it is a long way from being done. Still cones separating everything except the outside left and right lanes....one in each direction.
The islands are not done.
The paving is not done.

Open but not done!
All they did was create a passage through the construction zone.

Thanks Bill for the update, I was under the impression that the job was completed. Well at least we can get through to 301.... it's a start anyway.

Going east from 301 it's open but hardly a smooth ride.

I still saw the "Road Closed" sign up, this morning, at the 466A/Powell Rd intersection.

Below 466A it's easier to go 44A.

At this point, just being able to get through and exit on 301 is a plus. They still intend to close 462 at the railroad tracks.

That contractor should be ashamed of this job. It's still a mess, but yes open

A contractor "ashamed" ? It seems you have no construction industry exposure. [emoji57]

Seems like not enough "RESEARCH" was done before AWARDING this contractor with the project. Does this have to be approved by the county before being open to traffic??
No penalties assessed?? Might be a lesson in here someplace.

what information do you have to blame the contractor, Are you privy to all the unexpected problems encountered once the project started. Did you know that once the excavation was done it became obvious that all the underground utilities needed to be redone (gas lines, water, etc,) and once that was found rights of way had to be established....no I wouldn't blame the contractor...try blaming local politicos instead for not maintaining local utilities and facilitating right of way issues,

It's open. It's over. I'm glad. Now they can close the RR tracks on 462 for three weeks or longer, and I can still get to DDRR without detouring to Huey-Dooey-Looey St.
