There are three huge piles of gravel. The gravel is the size of the kind used as ballast on railroad tracks and it begins at the gate to the tracks. So now I'm thinking that the whole project hinges on Amtrak using the exit as a staging area for improvements it wants to make. This explains the heavy lumber too.
The cuts across the roadway made early on are still there. DOT has done nothing but put up fencing. Maybe Amtrak put up the fencing?
And those mid exit fence posts are gone. Actually one is laying on its side in the weeds.
The December 31 completion date makes more sense now.
These photos are not in the order of which I took them. This is where the exit is blocked on the Henry Hudson Parkway.
NYC DOT dug this up when they closed the exit about a year ago. It looks the same except there are plants growing here.
The east side of the dug up area. Why did they dig it up? Were they thinking of putting some weight sensors here?
Northern end of a wooden barricade that hasn't moved.
First of three piles of gravel I encountered. I now believe this gravel is part of a staging area from Amtrak. The gravel looks like that which is used for ballast on railroad tracks.
It almost reaches across the road. No vehicles are getting by this.
The first asphalt pile surrounded by jersey barriers encountered coming from the south.
The piles of square wood that I've only ever seen under heavy machinery. In between two piles of gravel.
This used to a vertical pole which might have taken a fence.
Some strange writing on the asphalt near the St. Clair Place end.
The St. Clair Place end. The gray Yodocks have replaced the orange ones.
Fence extended on east side.
Fence extended on west side.
Pole where a sticker was placed.
Back of sign where one sticker still exists.
Gravel pile just south of the Amtrak gate.
