Earlier today, crews poured portions of the concrete bridge that will bring the expressway over Highway 140 and the BNSF railroad tracks.
This is the first of four major concrete pours that need to happen to complete the bridges. To date, just over 70 percent of Segment II is complete.
The overall Campus Parkway project includes the construction of a four-lane expressway from Highway 99, connecting to Highway 140, and extending to Yosemite Avenue.
The current phase of the project (Segment II) remains on schedule to be finished in the first quarter of 2020.
Once complete, Campus Parkway will represent the south-eastern portion of the “Merced Loop System,” which will eventually circle Merced City and connect surrounding communities.
