Please slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution while traveling through the area during work hours, especially when crews and equipment are working.

Project Expected to Last About a Week

The good news for daytime travelers is that all lanes will remain open during daylight hours.

The pavement work is expected to take approximately one week to complete, although the timeline could change due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.

If you regularly use this section of U.S. 82, be sure to plan for possible delays during the overnight hours and allow a little extra travel time while the project is underway.
