The traffic controls will continue as work moves west within the project limits. Delays are expected to extend up to 15 minutes.***

Preliminary work began this past winter, and main construction activities this summer requires traffic control during the daytime construction schedule. 24/7 traffic control may be required on unpaved surfaces, with up to 30 minute delays.
