Crews are continuing work on lighting, paving, roadway striping, trail gravel, sidewalks and miscellaneous construction on this project, with construction expected to be substantially complete by early October.

New Traffic Impacts:
Because crews are repaving a crosswalk area and the left-hand turn lane has been closed, no left hand turns are permitted for traffic headed eastbound on Westside Blvd. to access northbound Golf Course Road through early October.

Ongoing Traffic Impacts:
There are various eastbound and westbound lane closures on Westside Blvd. but at least one (1) lane will be open in each direction at all times.
There are various right lane closures on northbound and southbound Golf Course Road north and south of Westside Blvd.
Regular work hours are Mon.-Fri., 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m., although the contractor may work longer hours or on weekends if needed. Some Saturday work is planned for the next few weeks. All construction is weather permitting and subject to change without notice.
