Crews will excavate existing pavement and prepare the curb pad for concrete. Expect noise from machinery, backup alarms and equipment operation.

The planned lane closures are necessary as crews pour concrete for new median curb and new storm drain inspections.

Motorists are advised to use caution and be alert for lane closures. Access will be maintained for all routes in the vicinity.
