Night work

Nighttime work at the Airport Way intersection will continue through mid-September, taking place Monday evenings through Friday mornings. Drivers should follow posted signs and closures and use extra caution when traveling through the area at night.

Once this phase of work is complete, nighttime construction will pause before resuming in late September through mid-October for the final paving and asphalt overlay. The overlay adds a smooth top layer that evens out the surface, improves ride quality, and helps protect the roadway for years to come.
