While work is underway, lane restrictions will be in place. Detours will also be necessary for a portion of the project.
“When work occurs between McKercher Boulevard and milepost 120, traffic will be detoured onto Buttercup Road,” explained ITD Project Manager Brock Dillé. “We anticipate this detour to begin in late April and last for approximately two weeks.”
Signs will be present to direct motorists through the work zone. Drivers are encouraged to plan for extra time when traveling through the area and watch for workers and heavy equipment entering and exiting the highway.
“We will be working to minimize impacts throughout this project and appreciate the patience of motorists as they travel through the area,” said Dillé.
Western Construction is the primary contractor on this project which is expected to be completed in May.
