This closure is necessary to transport a new Phillips 66 Pipe Rack module from a delivery yard off Miller Avenue to a staging area in the Phillips 66 tank yard west of Sampson Street. Work will be performed, weather permitting.
Police, contractor vehicles, and flagging personnel will escort the large, self-propelled carrier, which will be used to transport the pipe rack and then return to the yard off Miller. Each section of roadway impacted will be reopened to traffic when the carrier has passed through to minimize disruption to motorists.
Note: Horseshoe Boulevard will be open to traffic.
