Please drive carefully through the work zone and maintain the 35 mph work zone speed limit. Expect daily lane closures between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Next week, water main installation is expected to begin on Boxwood Drive. Crews will begin with a connection at the intersection of Salem and Boxwood drives and work will continue east. Motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution when navigating these areas, both for their safety as well as the safety of work crews.
