All traffic is expected to be in its final configurations along I-35W and Hwy 62 by Dec. 2010. Landscaping and minor “finish up” projects are expected to be completed in 2011.

Nighttime construction activities are scheduled to begin throughout the project area in late March and will continue through early summer 2010; however, additional night work may be needed as the construction season progresses. We will continue to send out updates as night work progresses in your area.

Nighttime construction activities are needed in order to complete the project work within schedule and when lane closures on the freeways are allowed. Nighttime activities occur between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Noise and vibrations may be associated with construction activities.

Below is a summary of additional Crosstown construction activities planned for 2010. The Public Information Team thanks you in advance for your patience and cooperation during our final construction season. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-866-743-6590 if you have any questions or concerns.
