LATEST INFORMATION:
8-11-2017: Washington is open to traffic from west of Hainesville to Haryan Way; all lanes are open in both directions.
Crews will still be working to clean up and make some minor repairs; they will complete the new traffic signals over the next few weeks. Thanks so much for your patience and cooperation during the construction of Lake County's newest roadway. 8-9-2017: We expect to open all lanes to traffic from Hainesville Road to Lake Street on Friday, August 11th; we are targeting an afternoon opening. There will be crews on site completing some temporary pavement marking and removing barricades and signs; please use extra caution on Friday.
We will maintain the work zone speed limit for at least a few more weeks. We still have work to complete including the new traffic signals at Washington and Hainesville. Please continue to use caution as we complete the remaining work and handle final repairs. 7-31-2017: The asphalt contractor plans to complete driveways at Lakeside and the west end of the project today; the crew will also resurface the very west end of the project from Arbor towards Grandview.
Please watch for crews and equipment at the west end of the project. Please watch for flaggers; they will help direct you safely through the work zone. 7-26-2017: The contractor will install new concrete curb and patch some cracked panels in the new pavement over the next few weeks; there will be some daily lane closures and traffic shifts in the eastbound lanes to support that work.
We will also see traffic signal crews at the Washington/Hainesville intersection building new signal poles and pulling cables. Next week, we expect to see the asphalt crews complete an area of resurfacing at the west end of the project along with the remaining driveways. 7-17-2017: Crews will be staging traffic onto the new westbound lane today, Monday, July 17th; they will also move the eastbound lane towards the middle of the roadway away from the curb. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained until the adjacent Underpass/Grade Separation project opens all lanes to traffic.
Please use extra caution as new lanes open to traffic. 7-6-2017: We expect to see the pavement marking crews on site over the next week. They will be grinding thin grooves into the surface of the pavement for some of the new stripes and arrows. If you have driven on Peterson Road, you will recognize the type of pavement markings we will install on Washington.
Please use extra caution during this work. Sometimes the crew is just one or two people working far from the trucks. The closed lanes are still a work zone, so please take an extra moment to make sure the closed lanes are clear before pulling out of driveways and into the live lanes of traffic. |
