Road Construction Work in Progress
Weather delays may be expected for all work zones.
Please note: Although the city informs online mapping services about our road closures and designated detours/alternate routes, the routes they provide to the general traveling public are generally the shortest or quickest routes between two points. That results in drivers sometimes not following the city's designated detour/alternate routes.
Check the road construction updates webpage and the city's social media channels for any unexpected changes to schedules.
*** Dates for ongoing projects may be adjusted as work progresses. Check the information below regularly to view the current timelines.
