How will this impact my commute?
Our current traffic control plan keeps at least one lane open on Grant Road at all times. All closures will be posted on roadside message boards in advance of the closure. Delays should be expected during peak commute hours. We will continue to update this webpage as needed. A preliminary Traffic Control Plan is included in the slideshow above.
