  • Paid duty police officers will be on site as required to help direct traffic.

  • Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.

We understand that overnight work and construction is disruptive to those who live and work in the area, and have taken steps to reduce the impacts where possible. While we aim to balance the needs of commuters, businesses, area residents, the community at large and the project, night work is sometimes unavoidable. Read more about how we balance the needs of the corridor in our recent blog working day and night.

crews dedicated to minimize disruption where possible:

  • Limit the reversing of vehicles with back-up safety beeper
  • Aim headlights away from buildings and homes
  • Reduce the banging noise from dump truck tailgates
  • Set up portable lights in a way that limits upcasting onto buildings
  • Ensure equipment is well maintained and running well

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advanced notice when possible. Watch twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute updates. You can also check our overnight work and paving pages.
