On a project of this magnitude, it may seem like they're doing redundant things or things don't make sense - but we don't get to see the Gantt chart of the whole thing. I trust they know what they are doing.
I know of at least one non-obvious thing they did that was clearly good planning. While the rail line was out of commission for a week to finish building the new Laurel Creek crossing, it was also dug up on Caroline and just North of University to install infrastructure crossing underneath the tracks. Both of those were filled in and the track put back in working order before the Creek crossing was done.
