People should expect shoulder lane closures for up to 600 meters at a time.

Plan accordingly, expect delays, and the city says to exercise caution in construction zones and obey all traffic control signage and personnel.

Additionally, “vibratory compaction equipment may be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration,” the city release reads.
