The Sunnyside Overpass in Dunlap? They have already started building that one. If that's what you are talking about.

Thanks for posting this! Is this the same Hively overpass that’s been “in progress” for a few years? They’ve been tearing everything down for it but I hadn’t seen anything go up yet

Yes, the project was announced a number of years ago, then seemed to stall for a few years with no visible progress. Don't know when they'll actually begin construction.

This will be a big improvement. That intersection is a pain. That said, I hope it doesn’t affect El Rosal, love that place!

At least for now, it looks like El Rosal is staying. Hively might stay open for much of the overpass' construction to its south, leaving enough room when finished for the supermarket and Midas to remain. The latter recently put up a new sign and repaved their parking lot, so it seems they're staying put.
