UPDATE (9/17/2020): All lanes are open and construction activity is concluding. Please remember to drive with caution and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

UPDATE (10/25/2019): On Wednesday, October 30th (weather permitting), the contractor will be swapping traffic from the eastbound half of the roadway to the westbound half of the roadway. The eastbound side will be closed on: Coleman Ave from Short Coleman St. to Montgomery St., Montgomery St. from Coleman Ave. to Reagan St., and Reagan St. from Montgomery St. to LA Hwy 34. This traffic configuration will be in effect until all repairs are complete on the eastbound side of the road. There will remain two-way traffic as the roadway is large enough to accommodate this.

UPDATE (09/20/2019): Due to weather and construction delays, traffic is still currently shifted to the eastbound side of the road. There will be another lane shift when construction permits. There is no anticipated completion date at this time.

Beginning Monday April 15, 2019, traffic was shifted to the eastbound side of the road and striped to accommodate both directions of traffic. Traffic will be maintained through the use of flaggers to assist with travel through this area during daylight working hours.

The purpose of this lane shift is to allow contractors to patch the roadway. The extent of this lane shift is anticipated to be 30 days.

Permit / Detour section:
Restrictions: Lane widths have been restricted to 10 feet.
