Recent Progress

Value Engineering study has been conducted.  The estimated construction cost of the 268th portion is over budget; however, the total cost of construction for the three combined projects is below budget. 

Design Construction Impacts

Construction will require lane closures for widening activities.  Roadway widening will be compose ½  of the project length, the other half will be new alignment.  The new alignment will be constructed without impacting the flow of traffic.  Two weekend closures and one 5 day closure of SR 9 will be necessary to connect the new alignment to the old.

Impacts to Traffic

Construction will require lane closures for widening activities.  Two weekend closures and one 5 day closure will be necessary to connect the new alignment to the old.  Public Affairs office will make the public aware of the closures by implementing their Public Involvement Plan.
