WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION

Construction on this project will be covered by day (06:30 AM to 03:30 PM) and night (08:30 PM to 05:00 AM) shifts depending on activities and road closure requirements. However, work will initially start during the d shifts and will be conducted based on design stagi, ng in approximately one-mi segments at a time.

Work will involve utilization of heavy machinery, construction lights, saw cutting, grinding, excavation, backfilling, road closures and flagging crews to direct traffic safely through work zones as applicable. Drivers should anticipate minor to moderate delays (depending on location), follow posted signage, and remain vigilant around workers and equipment. Access along SR-67 will always be maintained; however, lane closures and bus ops may occur during active work hours, which may affect access to driveways located directly on SR-67.
