Motorists should expect delays in the area because of the construction. Public Works offers the following safety tips for motorists entering a roadway construction zone:

• Plan Ahead -- Allot extra travel time if you have to travel through this construction zone, or plan an alternative travel route to your destination.
• Stay Alert -- Motorists should obey any posted work zone advisories and signage. As with any driving situation, minimize interior and exterior distractions.
• Be Prepared to Stop — Drivers should be prepared to stop, slow down, shift lanes and yield to the movement of construction workers and equipment.
• Reduce Speed -- For the safety of all drivers and construction workers, normal posted speed limits are reduced in work zones. Motorists should maintain a safe distance between vehicles ahead, traffic barriers and construction workers and equipment.
