Starting on Sept. 22, traffic impacts will take place Sunday through Thursday nights, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Motorists can expect the following impacts during the period of construction:

Various mobile lane closures will take place within the work zones with reduced speeds
Plan ahead and expect short delays
This is a swift moving, mobile operation; although work zones will only be in place for a few hours, motorists are urged to use caution and watch for heavy equipment
Through lanes and turn lanes may be temporarily closed to traffic causing brief travel delays
Travelers are discouraged from passing the striping truck and crossing over fresh paint, as this may damage a vehicle’s finish. Please drive with patience during striping operations
Construction schedules could change depending on the weather
