TRAFFIC SHIFTS AT SR-36 FLYOVER
Crews have implemented their first of multiple traffic shifts on the SR-36 flyover bridge as they complete final paving and striping activities. Drivers are advised to note changing traffic patterns and use reduced speeds through the work zone.
The bridge is expected to be fully open to traffic by late September. Crews will demolish the original bridge structure in late October.
SR-36 WIDENING
Sign installation is scheduled for mid-September. Permanent striping and rumble strip installation is scheduled for mid-October. The newly added lane will be open to traffic in late September.
I-80 BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Crews will begin preliminary bridge construction activities in mid-October. The majority of work will be offline away from traffic; however, construction vehicles will be entering and exiting the work zone.
