5/19/23: Phase 1 traffic restrictions are in place. Please refrain from entering into closed lanes, which are marked by the presence of traffic barrels and solid lane lines. The worksite speed limit is set at 35 mph. Please exercise caution while driving through this construction zone.
Construction crews are removing center concrete medians and preparing to put down temporary pavement. This will allow traffic to be shifted so construction can begin on the new interchange configuration. Utility relocation work is ongoing in the right-of-way.
Delays at the intersection are anticipated during peak hours. Motorists are encouraged to seek an alternate route when feasible.
This project is needed in order to reduce congestion at the existing intersection.
Project Scope
The existing intersection will be converted into a grade-separated interchange.
