Detailed Description

To safely perform the work, the road configuration will be modified starting on September 26 and will remain in place for four (4) months, approximately.

Sidewalks and crosswalks may be closed periodically. Minor field modifications will occur when needed to complete work safely and minimize impact on the public.

There will be a Paid Duty Officer, flaggers, and detour signs to direct traffic, as needed.

We will continue monitoring noise and vibration levels during these activities to identify the need for mitigative actions.
