February 1, 2007 (Cont'd) Council were available to answer questions for some 70 residents who attended. Residents were interested in how the final project would look and the effects of 2007 construction. Neff said current overnight lane restrictions were set to continue "into the foreseeable future," but that two narrow lanes will continue to be open during daylight hours. The summer construction season will see periodic closures. As crews repair and replace bridge structures, all freeway lanes will be closed. Cross streets and bridges will also be closed periodically, based on agreements set between UDOT and construction crews. By mid-April, crews will again be able to move dirt and gravel, said UDOT representative Randy Jeffries. While cold weather persists, crews will focus on concrete work. By the end of the 2007 season, they hope to complete inside lanes all the way to 2700 North. Larry Harris, a retired Farr West resident, wandered the small city council room Wednesday evening, asking questions and looking at maps and displays. One poster showed a close-up view of a "cedar grapestone" pattern to be imprinted on the concrete that will make up sound walls. The poster also showed a stainless steel mural of a train the murals will be mounted on new sta-bilizing walls. Technological improvements being built as the construction progresses include traffic sensors and cameras, electronic message boards and weather-monitoring centers, Neff said. Information collected by the new equipment will be sent to commuterlink.utah. gov, and traffic control centers.
