Sounds like Middle Bridge repair traffic on MAC-21

[BinaryMode]

For several days now I've been hearing what sounds like a construction crew on MAC-21. Upon hearing the traffic from my archives it sounds like the Middle Bridge repair project.

Here's a pretty decent article on it.

In 2022, a Federal Highway Administration report identified a “topic of concern” for bridges built with T-1 steel between 1959 and 1978. Around 224,000 bridges in the U.S. were identified as needing major work, and 78,000 were said to need replacement.

The 800-foot-long Sherman-Minton Bridge over the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky, and Indiana was closed for five months in 2011 after inspectors found cracks in ties made of T-1 steel and repairs were done.

I noticed that yesterday also. Odd place to put that project, sounded mostly like traffic control.
Pretty sure by now, most every dispatch console in the state has the volume turned way down for MAC21.

Probably because a lot of the users on this channel right now don't seem to know how to use a radio...

Is the traffic control a subcontractor for Kiewit? Or is it CDOT maintenance crews? I doubt they would put the traffic control on the 2-Lincoln or 2-Lincoln-Tac channels.
