Important step taking place this weekend on the US 281 Phase I Expansion project!
We've been working on the reconstruction of Evans Road a bit a time. This weekend, our contractor (Webber) will be putting in place traffic switch on the westbound side of the Evans & 281 intersection (see adjacent illustration).
As a result, both westbound and eastbound will be reduced to one lane in both directions at the 281 intersection.
This is so crews can finish the intersection reconstruction process on the west side of the intersection.
The switch will start this Friday, August 23, at 9 p.m. and will be in place for the weekend, until 5 a.m. Monday, August 26. The goal is to have Evans fully reopened with two lanes in each direction by the Monday morning commute.
Intersection reconstruction can require multiple changes in traffic flow/configuration to ensure construction can be completed smoothly and -- most importantly -- safely for drivers and crews. We appreciate your patience during this switch.
