#3 and #7 are very similar, but #3 is the better of the two. 7 also doesn't fit the series: the colour is more peach and the close-up isn't in keeping with the sweeping lines of the others.
From there I'm torn between cutting #2 and #9. 9 doesn't have the same feel as the others, the perspective is different and the photo feels like it has less of a base to give it balance. #2 is very similar to #3, and I'm wondering if both are needed. These are the two that show the highway under construction (at least with the least construction done) which makes them distinctive among the series and makes the roadbed with the forms on it the subject. Of the two, #3 shows it better and is the more satisfying photo. But there's also the possibility that if #2 is gone, then #3 becomes the oddball by showing an unfinished road.
I'd cut 7 and 9.
#4 and 5 are my favourites.
