Major Construction Update! Downtown Fairway is going through some changes due to rapid growth! NHDOT (New Humboldt Dpt. of Transportation) has a project to re-route the East/West Mainline through downtown Fairway, as well as revamp and upgrade the North/South Mainline or highway. Both very big projects. Details include lowering of the highway below normal grade and using an underwater tunnel to cross the river. Fairway's downtown airport is also being moved and improved. The North/South Mainline is also being sunk below grade and major upgrades and improvements are coming to the interchange known as "The Beast." Our first section is going to focus on the relocation of the East/West Highway. It will be re-routed south from downtown from "Stadium Junction" It will then continue and turn west and connect to the new tunnel. The new tunnel will travel under Dogwood River. Construction Begins! The banks of the Dogwood River have been prepped and terraformed, and the Downtown Airport has been cleared. The first phase of the project was to construct the tunnel and begin the digging process to lower the highway. A new interchange with Foxmoore Blvd is being constructed as more terraforming is happening. Its nothing too fancy! Though it will only allow access to and from the south and not into "Stadium Junction." That interchange terminates into downtown surface streets after the removal of the "Water Front Highway." You can easily access the interstate from Meridian St. ( waaay up in upper right hand corner of picture.) Interchange complete! New overpasses are built to maintain main street flow and not cause any new routes to be put in place. The last exit before entering the tunnel. This allows access to Water Front Dr from the interstate. Something that was not there before. Future upgrades may include access to the tunnel from Water Front Dr. at some point. Those are future options. New exit to allow access to Riverside Industrial Park and the new Downtown Airport. Planners are already regretting using low of a volume interchange and it may be upgraded to a SPUI if traffic becomes too heavy. This area of Fairway is limited on space and land to allow for anything bigger or larger in capacity. Engineers are looking into it though. Project complete! Here is the overview of the project. COMMING SOON Phase two of Major Works Downtown, is this section of highway. It will also be sunken and a major overhaul of The Beast Interchange is underway! "The Beast" in its current state!
