Road Closures:

Some road closures will occur during construction. The construction and lane closures for the project will be performed in three phases:

  • Phase 1: Inside lanes closure to reduce median width on the west end. This width reduction will later allow to widen sidewalks in phase 2 and 3. Phase 1 was completed on September 12, 2025.
  • Phase 2: Closure of east bound (south side) bridge to perform deck repairs and to widen the south side sidewalk. Traffic will be moved to the north bridge. North side sidewalk will be available for pedestrians. Phase 2 will start on September 17, 2025.
  • Phase 3: Closure of west bound (north side) bridge to perform deck repairs and to widen the north side sidewalk. Traffic will be moved to the south bridge. South side sidewalk will be available for pedestrians.
