Milestone Contractors will make a traffic switch at the new railroad overpass in Columbus on Sunday, weather permitting.

Under the new configuration, crews will finish work to tie-in the new alignment to existing State Road 46.

The following traffic pattern will take place on Sunday and will be in effect for approximately three weeks. Westbound State Road 46 will remain one lane while work is completed.

The new configuration will be:

  • State Road 11 northbound to State Road 46 westbound routed on new loop ramp and bridge over S.R. 11
  • State Road 11 southbound to State Road 46 westbound use existing configuration
  • State Road 11 southbound through traffic use existing configuration and section of temporary pavement

The next traffic switch, planned in August, will move all traffic to the new alignment. Any remaining work will be completed under temporary lane closures with flagging when necessary.

Eastbound State Road 46 traffic was moved to the new loop ramps and bridge in late June.
