ROAD CLOSURE CONSIDERATIONSThe key objective is to construct these roadway improvements while minimizing impacts to public users. To facilitate public safety, certain segments of the road will be closed during various construction activities. When the road is open, delays up to 30 minutes can be expected. The construction schedule is subject to change. During road closures, no motorized vehicles will be permitted on the route. Adjacent Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail routes will continue to be open during road closures. Where a potential conflict between an OHV and construction equipment is possible, the OHV access will be restricted for public safety. Emergency access will be permitted at all times.
