Drivers should expect single-lane closures, delays, and occasional weekend work through spring 2027. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents.

Between the railroad and US 17, the final friction course pavement has been installed, and pavement markings have been completed. Work continued on the construction of the clay cut-off wall at Pond 2, and hauling clay from Pond 2 to Pond 3 for installation of the pond liner. Overall, the project is progressing as planned and remains on schedule.
