Traffic Impacts

Motorists can expect the following impacts during the period of construction:

  • Various mobile lane closures will take place within the work zones with reduced speeds
  • Plan ahead and expect short delays
  • This is a swift moving, mobile operation; although work zones will only be in place for a few hours, motorists are urged to use caution and watch for heavy equipment
  • Through lanes and turn lanes may be temporarily closed to traffic causing brief travel delays
  • Travelers are discouraged from passing the striping truck and crossing over fresh paint, as this may damage a vehicle’s finish. Please drive with patience during striping operations
  • Construction schedules could change depending on the weather
