Bridge Street widening project update (February 23):
(The following schedule is weather dependent and subject to change)
Working hours will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
-Crews will continue to grade for pavement widening and relocate utilities on Bridge Street between 22nd Avenue and 40th Avenue. Lane shifts are in place within this stretch with a single lane of thru-traffic open in both directions. These traffic reconfigurations will remain in effect for the duration of Phase I of the project, which is expected to continue into the spring.
-For drivers traveling westbound on Bridge Street, there will be no left turns onto 27th Avenue. Drivers are encouraged to continue west to make a lefthand turn at 22nd Avenue.
-Temporary localized closures may take place throughout the project zone throughout the week.
-Starting the week of March 4, there will be access limitations at the S 40th Avenue and Bridge Street intersection with detour routes in place. The project team will communicate more about the upcoming impacts next week.
-Speed limit reductions are in place within the project zone.
-Trucks and heavy equipment will continue to enter and exit the roadway within the project zone, so drivers are encouraged to slow down, watch for workers and equipment, and leave plenty of space in between vehicles. Please be mindful and exercise extreme caution when traveling through construction areas.
