Key takeaway Barricades are in place to manage traffic flow.
City crews are working on improvements at a major intersection. Barricades are in place to manage traffic flow. The work is expected to take about three weeks to complete, with crews on site daily from morning to afternoon.
Drivers who regularly pass through the area should be aware of the construction and plan accordingly. Traffic patterns may change during the project, and signs will be posted to guide motorists. Further information about the construction project is available from local news sources.
The project aims to enhance the intersection with new features, including a median and updated pavement markings.
