Key Details

During construction, one lane will remain open to traffic, and sidewalk access will remain open.
The overlay process uses hot material that can damage vehicles, clothing, and may stick to your pet's paws. Please obey the traffic signs and flagging personnel.

Local Access and Parking

No Parking Signs will be placed at least 72 hours in advance of construction.
Please remove all on-street parking before 7 am, as noted on these signs, to avoid towing.
During the preparatory phases of work, traffic will remain open and will be facilitated by the flagging personnel. Please respect and obey their directions for both your safety and the crew's.
While new asphalt is being placed, there may be delays of up to 30 minutes to enter/exit properties within the project work zone in order to compact the asphalt material and make it safe to drive on. Please plan accordingly.
