Design Construction Impacts Due to steel availablity issues, project will not be complete until Fall.
Environmental Impacts / Compliance All environmental documents were completed in the fall of 2003. All work will occur within the existing right of way. Impacts are minimal and no mitigation is required for this project. Best management practices will be used during construction.	Impacts to Traffic During steel replacement work, the speed limit will be reduced and westbound traffic will be detoured to the eastbound lanes from 8 PM to 6 AM. I-90 will be limited to one lane in each direction, separated by traffic safety barrels. All lanes will be open to traffic from Friday noon to midnight Sunday, during non-work hours, and on holidays.
