If you're driving through the area, you can expect:

  • Crews working during the day Monday through Friday.
  • A single lane for traffic on the bridge at all times.
  • Traffic controlled by flaggers, automated flagger assistant devices or temporary traffic signals.  
  • Short delays of less than 20 minutes at most hours.
  • A reduced speed limit through the work zone.
  • Construction noise.

Please use caution and watch for workers in the roadway.

Watch for automated traffic control devices!

We'll use automated flagger assistant devices and temporary traffic signals to help guide you through the work zone and to keep workers safe.

When you see an automated flagger assistant device, remember to:

  • Stop when the light is red and the flag is down.
  • Wait for the arm to be fully up before you start moving.
  • Drive carefully when the light is flashing orange and the flag is up

Temporary traffic signals work like regular traffic signals:

  • Stop when the light is yellow or red.
  • Proceed when the light is green and the roadway is clear.
