In order to expedite paving activities, an asphalt crew is scheduled to begin working at night in several areas of the project at the end of next week. (See details below)

General Impacts – Corridor-wide impacts from activities occurring along the entire stretch of SR-68.An asphalt crew is scheduled to begin working at night in several areas of the project at the end of next week. The lower traffic volumes at night will allow larger stretches of asphalt to be placed at one time. Night paving is scheduled primarily in non-residential areas. Weather permitting, paving operations will be underway at various locations throughout the project this week. Please watch for shifting traffic and brief access interruptions as this work takes place.
Residents and businesses should expect brief, intermittent access interruptions as curb, gutter and sidewalk are installed across accesses. Notice will be given of longer-term impacts.
