PennDOT has done this with a bridge painting and rehab project on I-79 over the Ohio River at Neville Island. There have been a couple weekends where one direction or the other are closed to facilitate work being done.

There are bridges on the east end of I-495 dated 1966, so I don't think this is accurate.495 isn't really a circumferential of Boston southeast of Foxborough, or arguably southeast of the Mass Pike. It would be if a ton of traffic was generated from Cape Cod, but Cape Cod is quite decidedly not a dense urban core generating a massive amount of traffic. It generates a good amount, yes, but not a ton. 495 does serve a good purpose in its southeastern reaches, though, providing access to a lot of populated areas in southeastern Mass. And 495 is a suitable enough number, as the majority of the highway serves as a bypass. My point is that Boston, more or less, has 1 1/2 bypasses rather than 2. (Same with I-355 in Chicagoland; I'm hesitant to call that a bypass.) I'd be more inclined to call the southern half of 495 a bypass if there was a highway running south from Wareham or Cape Cod south across the ocean to, say, the Hamptons? The far east end, between MA 24 and I-195, was already built as MA 25. It was re-numbered in the 80's at some point after 495 was built between I-95 and 24. |

Pretty remarkable to be affected by smoke from wildfires on opposite ends of Canada within weeks of each other.
At least it made for a dope full moon last weekend. |

The portion of Camden County New Jersey CR 644 known as Haddonfield Road, is occasionally signed Haddonfield-Sorrell Horse Road, e.g. here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.964576,-75.0244155,3a,75y,58.08h,83.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWW57I0JFXex4o1xrLbpgCg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu. It's named after the Sorrel Horse Tavern (note the difference in spelling, though) which existed at the terminus of said road at US 130 into the 1950s or 1960s.
![]() This was pretty hard to track down, what with the different spellings not matching and the dearth of acknowledgement that the road even has that name. |

Anchorage Daily News reports that Denali Park Road will continue to be closed at Mile 43 until 2026.
https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2023/06/05/denali-park-road-not-fully-reopening-until-2026-after-bridge-construction-pushed-back-a-year/ Quote The 92-mile road through Denali National Park and Preserve will remain closed near the halfway point for another three years due to newly discovered construction delays in the area of a treacherous landslide. |

Camden County New Jersey CR 644 starts out as Grove Street in Haddonfield and Cherry Hill, then becomes Haddonfield Road after crossing NJ 70 in Cherry Hill. It continues under that name until it enters Pennsauken, at which point it's signed as Haddonfield-Sorrell Horse Road at traffic lights, but still Haddonfield Rd on regular blades. This ends after the interchange with NJ 90 after which it reverts to being just Haddonfield Road. I'm sure the intention was to sign Sorrell Horse all the way to the road's terminus at US 130 since it's named after the Sorrel Horse Tavern (note the difference in spelling, though) which existed at that intersection into the 1950s or 1960s.

Kenosha was able to annex its way across I-94 to keep it's population growth up for a while there, but now like it's neighbor just up the coast, they're hemmed in by other villages/cities. Kind of interesting that Racine and Kenosha have basically switched population sizes in the last 50 years. If not for Kenosha's aggressive annexations, that wouldn't have happened.
