TRAFFIC IMPACTS - July-September
- We anticipate the first 2-3 weeks of work will be in very rocky terrain. In these narrow and rocky sections of the road, especially this first portion, we will need to implement full road closures for 45 min. at a time.
- We will open the road at the top of each hour for 15 min.
- These traffic plans will be in place during working hours only - MONDAY-THURSDAY, 7am-5pm. The road will remain open when work is not being performed.
- The project is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 1 (break 7/4-/7/5) and continue for the next 2-3 months.
- Once we move past this first portion, we may be able to move to 1-lane, flagger-controlled traffic in some areas. We will continue to keep you informed throughout the duration of the proejct.
- There will also be a reader board along Mountain Home Rd. with the latest traffic impacts.
