TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:                      Work will be completed with daytime moving shoulder closures. Drivers should prepare for reductions in speed as they approach these shoulder closures.

Overhead truss signs will be replaced during nighttime hours (11 p.m. - 6 a.m.) and will require full lane closures.
