Interstate 26 work crews will continue to concentrate their efforts along the Remount Road interchange next week. As part of the three-year, $66 million widening of the freeway from six to eight lanes between the Mark Clark Expressway and Ashley Phosphate Road, construction workers will continue to build the new Remount Road overpass and rebuild the intersection with new on- and off-ramps, said James Law with the state Department of Transportation. Motorists will see more concrete retaining walls as crews prepare to pave the shoulders of the eastbound lanes through the three-mile stretch. Crews will continue to clear anything that's in the expanded road's right of way, Law said. "Most of the trees have been taken down that are coming down unless they find something that needs to be removed that is not in the plans," Law said.

WHY Remount rd? Like that's a big business hub or something? As for residential needs this is the new "little mexico". Don't get it on this one folks?
