Traffic is scheduled to be moved to the westbound lanes on August 22, 2024, closing the eastbound lanes for construction. Access to all businesses and residences will be maintained throughout the construction period. The speed limit has been reduced to 35 mph, and motorists are advised to use extra caution in the construction zone.
