	The 4-lane overpass bridge for VA-6 Patterson Avenue is under construction over VA-288's mainline roadway construction. Notice the Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) backwalls being constructed at the abutments. VA-6 will have a cloverleaf interchange with VA-288, and VA-6 is a 4-lane arterial that has a 2-lane temporary roadway to carry its traffic through the interchange construction area. This is in Goochland County. Another Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) website.
