Delays Announced for Broadway Curve Project

Construction delays are impacting several major infrastructure projects across the U.S. The $50 million reconstruction of Interstate 44 between Rolla and St. James, Missouri, has been extended due to issues found in the concrete joints, pushing the reopening past the end of September, with the contractor responsible for any cost overruns. In Phoenix, the Broadway Curve Improvement Project on Interstate 10 has been delayed until spring 2025 due to flooding that halted work on the Salt River bridges, although the project is 90% complete. Additionally, the Meldon Viaduct resurfacing in Dartmoor has been postponed until November following feedback from local businesses. Lastly, the Vantage Bridge project on Interstate 90 will see lane reductions starting this week, with expected delays until November, when work will pause for winter. These ongoing projects highlight the complexities and challenges faced in maintaining and upgrading essential transportation networks.
