The E. 96th Avenue Widening Project is approaching another major milestone! Beginning the night of Sunday, Nov. 22, crews will implement Phase III, the final planned traffic switch before project completion.
The traffic switch is scheduled to take place on Sunday night, Nov. 22. Once in place, the new traffic configuration will allow crews to complete median construction.
What drivers need to know:
Eastbound traffic: Will shift to one lane on the south side of the new median.
Westbound traffic: Will shift to one lane on the north side of the new median.
Left lanes: Will close in both directions while crews complete median construction.
Another important milestone is the activation of the permanent traffic signal at Landmark. The temporary signal will be removed as the permanent signal becomes operational.
This traffic configuration is expected to remain in place through Dec. 31 and until the project is complete.
As construction moves toward the finish line, drivers should use caution, follow posted signs and allow extra travel time through the work zone.
