Construction of masonry walls and earthen berms as sound barriers. Construction crews will keep the freeway open to three lanes in each direction during peak daytime travel hours. The contractors also have made a major decision to keep all traffic interchanges open, with the exception of month long closures of the westbound exit and eastbound on-ramps at Mill Avenue. We'll provide as much space as possible and limit restrictions. But we also need drivers to know they're sharing the freeway with construction workers.
Safety is a key concern.
We're asking drivers to stay alert, slow down and give themselves some extra travel time.
