Anticipated Impacts
Noise and vibration from trucks and heavy equipment is expected.

Site lighting and generators will be used to power lights which are a safety requirement for overnight work.

Motorists should adhere to detours, traffic control signage, posted speed limits, allow for added travel time and use extra caution when moving through active construction corridors as traffic patterns change.
