Intersection Closure Coming Up

Schedule

• Nightly work Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. NOTE: Most work will be done at night to reduce traffic jams, however, daytime work not impacting traffic will take place, except when the bridge deck repairs begin at 400 North.

Enhancements include:
