Ongoing intersection upgrades at SW Orchard St

In order to shift traffic around the work zones, we will need to reduce travel to one lane in each direction on both Delridge Way SW and SW Orchard St. You can expect heavy traffic through this area while this work takes place. A uniformed police officer will be at the intersection to help people navigate through the area.
