The timing of each traffic signal is set to balance traffic flows to avoid extensive back-ups in any direction. Extra travel and turning lanes that are planned at each busy intersection will improve traffic flow and allow DOT to better coordinate signals. The DOT is also participating in a long-range plan, LITP2000, that will recommend transit, road, freight movement and other mobility improvements. Include your address and phone number so the doctor can reach you, if needed. All closings are Monday to Friday unless noted.
All closings are subject to weather conditions and last-minute construction requirements.
