Milestone Contractors construction crews are continuing to make progress on the railroad overpass and interchange project on Columbus’ west side that will allow motorists to avoid being stopped by railroad traffic at the intersection of State Road 46 and State Road 11.
Crews from Milestone have been working on the estimated $35 million project that is being jointly funded by the Indiana Department of Transportation, city of Columbus, Bartholomew County, Cummins Inc. and the Louisville & Indiana and CSX railroads.
“We’re on schedule for the most part,” said Nathan Gaskill, project manager at Milestone. “We probably won’t move any dirt this week because of the rain. We worked all weekend, Saturday and Sunday, knowing the weather would be unfavorable with rain.”
“Due to the weather we’ve had, I consider us to be on schedule to meet our completion date,” he said.
