Never said you were, however, they aren't likely to wait 60 days for it to completely cure. The core of Hoover Dam has not completely cured and it has been used since 1936.

They overpass definitly has a few more months to go, they question is, will all the ramps to and from the new entrance open at the same time.

You mean vs just opening the Osceola westbound entrance and the Osceola westbound exit, right? Earlier in the thread we had speculated whether Disney was going to open those (plus the Victory Way southbound entrance) first vs waiting for all four Osceola ramps to be complete before starting to use the new entrance. How long ago did they pour the flyover over Victory Way?
Edited to add: Sometime before September 3rd.

Just looks like the big push for progress on the ramps that they are just going to open it all at once. I mean much of it all is lined already. Just those final two ramps that were poured and the guard rails and lighting. Just seems that they are waiting for all the ramps at once and decided not to phase it. Then just finish the overpasses.

I assume you mean the new overpass which they have started on. I expect the other ramps to open before the overpass is complete.
Osceola overpass? Yup. It’ll definitely open last.

Anyone if medical parking is going to be back where it was originally, or at least in that vicinity?

I went through the previous posts for you and found a couple of posts by @danlb_2000 that show the water management permits that indicate that the medical parking will go back approximately where they were before the remodel, except with the parking tram on the side of it instead of in front of it, and the bus stops removed. See the diagram in his post below:

The busses of Pop, Art, and Caribbean will still be using the bus entrance on BV you think? Or can they be routed towards the new entrance? What do you think?
Side bus question: To get to MK and Epcot, CBR busses always USED to head north on Victory, east on BV, then merge onto World Drive. Since the massive road construction started, the buses now head south on Victory, east on osceola, then north on World Drive. It is roundabout and has added time to the bus route both coming and going. Any chance the CBR buses will head back to BV to get to MK?? It's small, but it grinds my gears. Also I think BV is one of the prettiest roads, with the Resorts you see, mini golf, and landscaping.

Guess they aren't letting the concrete cure.
With bridge decks you do want it to reach full design strength, but dependent on the mix you can reach that design strength in a much shorter period of time. I usually see a 4500psi design mix, with the mix itself hitting around 6000 in 28 days.
Concrete can continue curing and hardening for years after placement.
Apparently they poured it earlier than I thought. I am admittedly wrong.Guess they aren't letting the concrete cure.
