Route 895 Construction - March 2002 - Photos 10-13

Here's 4 photos of Route 895 under construction, taken in March, 2002.

  
Above, I'm standing on the Osborne Turnpike overpass bridge, looking west onto Route 895. The overpass bridge in the distance is Wilton Road, and the mainline toll plaza construction is just beyond that. Highway sign installation is underway. Cars and 2-axle vehicles will pay $1.50. I took this photo with a telephoto lens (135 mm or 2.7x) with a 2x teleconverter, effectively providing 270 mm or 5.4x. The intent was to show a detailed photo of the toll collection related signs for westbound traffic approaching the mainline toll plaza.

The overpass bridge in the distance is Wilton Road, and the toll plaza construction can be seen just beyond that, and in the distance can be seen the roadway under construction leading up to the Route 895 James River Bridge whose construction can be seen also. Highway sign installation is underway. Installation of toll collection equipment is underway, with vehicle testing of the electronic toll collection (ETC) system.
