The project will reduce roadway roughness and provide a smoother driving surface for motorists. The improvements will also extend the life of the existing pavement and decrease future maintenance costs. Upgrades to curb ramps will enhance safety and mobility for pedestrians using wheelchairs, canes, walkers, or other physical assistance devices.
During construction, this project’s construction operations and traffic impacts will be featured weekly on the Northeast Region Weekly Highway Construction Advisory.
The project is expected to finish by the end of September 2024.
