Work on the project is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 14, 2025.

Beginning July 14th, intermittent lane closures will be used to allow for tree removal operations on these routes.

Following these initial lane closures, motorists should expect ongoing intermittent lane closures on all routes to allow for construction work to progress safely and efficiently. Drivers should anticipate some delays, particularly during peak travel times.

The entire project is anticipated to wrap up Late 2025, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact construction timelines.

Safety reminder:
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
