hello barry, good to hear from you.

i was on a little dirt road OFF of the n/side of rt. 66 (so i wouldn't get drilled by any vehicles).  there really are not many close places to see the entire "flyover" project that i have found yet.

i will wait until the construction is over and then go on the public dirt roads in the area to see if i can get better views...........

Hey 66,
I can't recall, but is the flyover between Cherokee and Valentine or Cherokee and Peach Springs?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for posting.  They must be close to track laying with all the concrete tie loads there.

What is the purpose of this flyover ?  ( I live in OK so I am unfamiliar with this area). Thanks in advance.
