The contractor is authorized to work weekdays during the daytime from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and nights from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. The contractor is also authorized to work Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. At least one lane will be open to the traffic in each direction at all times.
The closures and restrictions are needed for milling and paving work to make repairs to the roadway. Construction is scheduled to be completed by May 1, 2019, weather permitting.
Parking restriction signs will be posted at least 72 hours in advance at locations where parking will not be allowed. These signs will notify the duration and dates of “No Parking” and provide contact information of the engineer in charge.
