This work began in September but was delayed while crews waited for a part to be manufactured. Crews will be replacing a segment of the expansion joint as well as a segment of the southern barrier curb. This work will have significant impacts to traffic. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, leave early, and find an alternate route if necessary. All work is weather permitting.
Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
