The project is designed to improve safety, reduce accidents and fatalities, and increase mobility in the corridor.

Project crews will apply a rubberized friction surface treatment to the roadway, which will enhance surface drainage and significantly boost tire traction. This treatment is expected to reduce the risk of accidents caused by wet or slippery road conditions.

Construction is scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. On June 19 and 20, work will begin at 4 a.m. All lanes will remain open throughout the project; however, minor traffic delays should be expected. The surface treatment project is anticipated to be completed June 23.

In July, crews will install 2,150 feet of metal beam median barriers, radar speed feedback signs, and updated pavement markers and signage.
