The project would improve the safety of the highway junction, which is prone to crashes, and upgrade the design to meet modern construction standards. In 2018, the DOT began a rehabilitation of the Mixmaster, including full deck replacement of Route 8 in both directions, along with repairs to the decks of I-84, and steel repairs. The project, set to be finished in the fall of 2022, will extend the Mixmaster’s life for 25 years, until it can be replaced.
