Here's a shot looking north from the middle of the southbound lanes of US 59. Some of the glass beads that were sprinkled across the pavement markings are glistening in the foreground. 18 September 2012
In the foreground is the temporary crossover, which merged into the old alignment of US 59. Above are the new US 59 lanes, as well as the southbound off-ramp for N 1000 Road. 4 October 2012
Here's a shot of the permanent US 59 west frontage road under construction at the N 1000 Road interchange. 4 October 2012
This new sign was installed in advance of junction with US 59 on US 56. In addition to the standard guide city pull-downs, it also guides drivers to the frontage road on the east side of the freeway. The name of the roadway, however, is E 1260 Road, not N 1260 Road. It's a goof on the plans. 4 October 2012
Here's a shot of the nearly-complete US 59 from E 1260 Road. 4 October 2012
