The Flatiron-Zachry joint venture, the contractor for the 85/385 Gateway Project, anticipates completing all bridge structures related to the project during the fourth quarter, according to a quarterly update.

Fourth quarter plans also call for the opening of the Interstate 85 southbound to I-385 southbound flyover bridge. In addition, upcoming activities include:

• completion of all wall structures
• completion of I-85 median and opening of all I-85 northbound lanes through to Pelham Road
• multiple traffic shifts on I-385 southbound to complete concrete pavement
• resurfacing on I-85 and I-385
• opening of all Interstate lanes and interchange ramps in final configuration
• completion of work on Roper Mountain Road
• continued construction on Woodruff, Garlington, and Miller roads

The $241.6 million project was originally scheduled to be finished this year. S.C. Deputy Secretary of Transportation Jim Feda said in March the completion date has been adjusted to Jan. 24.
