,There,s also signage urging people to slow down,, said Jenny Kaplan, spokesperson for Houston-based Waste Management, Inc., which operates the landfill and is footing the bill for the flyover.Cross traffic has long made that stretch of road dangerous.Since 1993, the area has been the scene of 31 accidents , including at least one fatal accident and 12 injury crashes.The general contractor for the project, which is estimated to be completed next spring, is North Bay Construction of Petaluma. The flyover is for the principal use of the landfill,s truck traffic, but it will be open to use by the public from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., when lumbering garbage trucks aren,t hauling loads.Caltrans hopes to widen the Narrows at some point and the flyover will span the widened freeway, Kaplan said.
