Traffic Shifts and Lane Closures

Throughout the construction, significant traffic shifts are anticipated. The first impact is expected in early November 2025. Construction is expected to continue through the summer of 2027. Temporary signage will be installed to guide drivers safely through the construction zone. Drivers are advised to pay attention to these signs, as they will provide critical information about lane closures, detours and speed limits. Construction zones can be unpredictable, with workers and equipment present. 

Drivers should reduce their speed, maintain a safe following distance, and be prepared for sudden stops or changes in traffic patterns. Drivers should remain vigilant, as these shifts will impact travel patterns in the area.
