Maintaining Traffic Flow
Three through-lanes will be maintained in each direction for the duration of construction, with the exception of occasional temporary overnight lane closures. These temporary closures will be announced through DOTD’s 511 service and through media releases to local news services.
Entrance and exit ramps will also be closed at various steps in the project timeline. Some closures will be temporary but of long duration (weeks to years) such as the I-110 Terrace Street exit, while other ramps will be closed permanently – such the Perkins Road ramps.
