Here's more photos of Route 895 under construction, taken May 12, 2001.

Above, I'm standing near VA-5, looking west onto Route 895. Heavy grading is nearing completion. The two mainline bridges cross over Cornelius Creek, and the westbound bridge has a spur bridge branching off to Ramp A, the westbound off ramp to the Laburnum Avenue Connection. The completed overpass bridge is for the Laburnum Avenue Connection. In the distance, you can see aggregate base stone that has been placed on the eastbound roadway.
