Bypass to open Thursday, December 17
According to this post:
Sources tell the Spy that, weather permitting, traffic signals will be tested tomorrow morning at the upper entrance to the bypass and at the Front and Walnut intersection before the road is opened. If the test is unable to be done due to weather the opening could be delayed.
More signs of bypass opening
There were more signs today of the imminent opening of the Route 441 bypass:
Additional signage was placed in the vicinity of the railroad tracks near the intersection of Front and Walnut Streets.
Additional work was done on the ADA access next to the tracks. A DWS (Detectable Warning Surface) was installed at the rear egress. The DWS is a yellow, textured pad, two of which are shown below. An asphalt walkway will be installed alongside the tracks, running from the ADA to the road. The bed for the walkway is shown in the last photo below. Large stones, called ballast, will be placed around the base of the railroad signal post.
