General Road and Highway Discussion

[KevinT]

When driving on the westbound lanes, I notice that there's a bit elevation difference at the Kinsman Stadium curve between the new outer lanes and the three lanes in use. Is the entire westbound curve going to have to be rebuilt?

Lol, just this past weekend my wife made the same observation and asked me the same question.  My best guess answer was that perhaps new outside westbound lanes will be built higher and the traffic shifted onto them while they rebuild the central westbound lanes to the new height.

Sometimes they build the height difference associated with banking into the central tall wall, like on the curve approaching the Kelso Conservation Area (compare the height in the eastbound street view to the westbound), but the look of the new wall poured for this section makes me think that's not what they're going to do.  At least not to the extent of the current height difference.

Oh well, time will tell us...
