The decks are complete on two sets of bridges (West interchange Road and SR 278). The beams are set on the Company Road bridge. <br/><br/> According to Phase II ODOT Project Engineer, Cary Betzing, about 3.6 million cubic yards of dirt has been moved which is about 82 percent of the total. Crews have begun driving piling at the 1967 bridge over Company Road. Concrete decks have been placed on both the right and left bridges over West Interchange Road. Crews are also roughing in sub-grade near the West Interchange Road. A new wildlife crossing was installed on the West end of the project. <br/><br/> UPDATE JUNE 2011 <br/> - Crews have excavated 3.16 million cubic yards of the 4.36 million to be moved on the job. <br/><br/> Work on Bridge 1908 Lt. and Rt., over West Interchange Road, is ongoing. Crews will be placing concrete decks on bridge in June. <br/><br/> Phase II is scheduled to be completed earlier than originally projected, the new date is 11/26/2012. <br/><br/> UPDATE December 2009 <br/> - Kokosing has begun clearing and grubbing and will start bridge work after the holidays. <br/><br/> On August 27, 2009 Phase II of the Nelsonville bypass was awarded to Kokosing Construction Company for $45.2 million. <br/><br/> Phase II consistst of 3.16 miles of four-lane highway earth work and 4.56 miles of four-lane paving plus the west interchange. Construction on Phase II will begin October 2009. <br/><br/> Phase III Update <br/> UPDATE FEBRUARY 2012- The project will finish up once the Elm Rock Road tie-in and the US 33 and SR691 intersection is complete. Excavation is 92% complete and the grouting work is 90 % complete <br/><br/> UPDATE JUNE 2011Crews have been busy at work on Phase III. According to Daniel McDonald, ODOT Project Engineer, Beaver Excavating has excavated about 4.5 million cubic yards of the project's total 6.9 million cubic yards. <br/><br/> UPDATE July 2010 - The larger of the two phases, Beaver Excavating has excavated more than 3.2 million cubic yards of dirt and embankment since October 2009. <br/><br/> A unique construction feature of Phase III includes mine grouting, in which Phase III requires an estimated 500,000 cubic yards of grout to fill old abandoned mine voids. <br/><br/> “At one time Nelsonville had a huge coal mining industry,” explained Daniel McDonald, ODOT Project Engineer. “However, there were minimal mining regulations in the early 1900’s and many of the mines were just abandoned. These old mine voids need to be filled to prevent any slippage along the highway.” <br/><br/> UPDATE April 2010 - Crews continued to work over the winter months clearing trees and moving earth. To date, more than 2.1 million yards of dirt have been moved on the project. As well, the approach slabs for the twin bridges on Twp Rd 36 have been completed and the approach slabs for the new SR 691 bridge are currently being constructed. Finally, embankment work is being done on the section of new SR 78. <br/><br/> On August 6, 2009 Beaver Excavating from Canton, Ohio was awarded the $92.88 million contract for Phase III of the US 33 Nelsonville Bypass - the single largest stimulus investment project in Ohio with a total investment of $150 million. Construction is slated to begin September 2009. <br/><br/><br/> PHASE III UPDATE <br/> UPDATE FEBRUARY 2012 <br/> The project will finish up once the Elm Rock Road tie-in and the US 33 and SR691 intersection is complete. Excavation is 92% complete and the grouting work is 90 % complete. <br/><br/> UPDATE JUNE 2011 <br/> Crews have been busy at work on Phase III. According to Daniel McDonald, ODOT Project Engineer, Beaver Excavating has excavated about 4.5 million cubic yards of the project's total 6.9 million cubic yards. <br/><br/> UPDATE July 2010 <br/> - The larger of the two phases, Beaver Excavating has excavated more than 3.2 million cubic yards of dirt and embankment since October 2009. <br/><br/> A unique construction feature of Phase III includes mine grouting, in which Phase III requires an estimated 500,000 cubic yards of grout to fill old abandoned mine voids. <br/><br/> “At one time Nelsonville had a huge coal mining industry,” explained Daniel McDonald, ODOT Project Engineer. “However, there were minimal mining regulations in the early 1900’s and many of the mines were just abandoned.
