what you need to know:

  • Crews will be working in segments starting from Weldrick and moving north to just south of Harding.
  • Curb-lane closures will be required in the work areas.
  • Bus stops and sidewalks will remain open. If a bus stop or sidewalk is temporarily closed, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop or sidewalk.
