The project involves multiple entities, and securing the necessary permits and documents can be a complex process. However, we’re thrilled that the project is now officially underway!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
The project is divided into three phases:
Phase 1: Utility and Infrastructure Improvements (Jan 2024 – Summer 2024)<\/span>
Phase 2: Road widening and construction (Summer 2024 – Late Fall 2024)<\/span>
Phase 3: Restoration and final checklist (Spring 2025)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
While we’re working on improvements, there might be some adjustments to traffic patterns. Look out for signs indicating alternative routes to make your journey smoother.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
We anticipate completing the project by summer 2025, though construction progress depends on weather and equipment availability. The project aims to enhance traffic flow for those traveling east and west in our city.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
