CT15 - Exit 28 Construction

Construction right off Exit 28 on Merritt Parkway South began before the start of last summer.  Heavy machineries were brought in to make way for a reinforced drainage system on Round Hill Road.  Traffic signals were also temporarily installed at this busy intersection.

I climbed up the stacks of concrete barrier blocks on the south side to get this elevated view of the construction work scene.  It was the Memorial Day Holiday when I sketched it.  Luckily, I filmed two video clips that day that became very useful for color rendering yesterday.

    I was wondering how you found an elevated view. Good thinking. Nice job on all the machinery. Too bad there weren't some workers getting triple time that you could sketch too. lol
