Anticipated schedule changes due to wet weather this year This fall, we will continue demolishing and repaving the roadway, driveways and sidewalks throughout the project corridor. Due to the wet weather, we may need to make last minute schedule changes to paving activities which may include delaying paving activities or starting concrete paving pours as the weather allows.
As a reminder, we aim to maintain access to driveways during demolition, which can last between 1 to 2 weeks in each area. If weather allows, paving will follow and typically require driveway closures for up to 1 week. Continue reading to learn more about our demolition and paving work zones and schedule.
Please plan for these schedule changes and reach out to us if you have any accessibility concerns during this work. You can learn more about typical paving impacts at the bottom of this email. Thank you for your patience during construction.
