Paving may begin next week, if the roadbase preparation is completed. Traffic interference through the project is minimal, with two-way traffic maintained . Lane closures are not scheduled, but brief traffic stops are coordinated by flaggers during work hours to allow construction trucks to enter and exit the work site. Crews started at Comstock Drive and are proceeding west. The outside shoulder of westbound SR-248 is closed each day through the work zone.
All lanes are open.
However, occasional traffic stops or one-way operations may be necessary if crews discover underground utility conflicts. On Saturday, April 29, crews will place the conduit across SR-248 near the Comstock Drive intersection . Flaggers will direct traffic through the work site in alternating intervals. Crews are removing the existing asphalt and building the embankments for the new ramp alignment. Motorists are advised to watch for signs and barrels on SR-224 approaching the interchange.
