• Motorists can expect overnight lane closures within the project limits for milling and paving operations on S.R. 776. Stay alert for traffic shifts and lane merges during the construction.
• Motorists will notice lane shifts and concrete bicycle lane separators on northbound and southbound S.R. 776 south of Dearborn Street.
• Motorists can expect intermittent daytime lane closures as crews prepare and install median modifications in the center lanes. Please watch for workers and lane shifts during this operation.
• To keep the road open during construction, motorists can expect crews to work one lane at a time. This may cause temporary uneven pavement sections of roadway.
• Crews and equipment may be present within the project limits during daytime/nighttime hours. Sounds from construction equipment and vehicles can be expected.
