No lane closures will be scheduled during special events at Crestview High School, Richbourg School or Northwood Elementary School. Pedestrians may be temporarily detoured while sidewalk work and repairs are performed.
The project is estimated for completion in early 2023.
The work schedule depends on the weather. Drivers are reminded to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the road.
