The contractor is starting work on the bridge decks at 2000 East and 2300 East, affecting traffic on mainline I-80. Beginning Monday, April 3, eastbound and westbound I-80 over both structures will be restricted to two lanes . Crews will replace asphalt on the inside shoulders and place concrete barrier. For the next two months, motorists are advised to allow extra time driving on I-80 through this area.
Delays are possible, particularly during peak hours.
The two lanes on eastbound and westbound I-80 will be narrow, and the regulatory speed limit will be reduced to 55 m.p.h. Most of the work on this project involves rehabilitation underneath the bridges, affecting traffic on the streets below. East of Highland Drive, however, the project also includes work on top of the bridges, affecting I-80 traffic.
