Crews will be using a machine called a zipper wall in much of this area of construction. The zipper wall allows contractors to work safely behind a concrete barrier wall. The machine moves the barrier wall to make traffic flow better and faster when it’s time to move areas of construction.
You can watch a video of a zipper wall here.
Members of the media are asked to use the media contact at the bottom of this release with any requests to see the zipper wall in action.
