Upcoming and Ongoing Activities

 

5600 South – Intermediate Lane Closures

Starting this week and continuing through the winter months, crews will implement occasional intermediate lane closures along 5600 South in both directions to accommodate finalizing flatwork (curb, gutter, sidewalk) between 2700 West and 3500 West. Crews will maintain one lane in each direction. Drivers should plan for slower traffic and delays during peak commute hours.

 

6000 South – Drainage Activities 

Crews recently began irrigation and storm drain work on the north side of of 6000 South near 2050 West, including cleanup around the pond. During this work, crews encountered an unknown utility line, which has delayed the remaining work for a few weeks. 

 

Flagging operations will be in place through mid-December. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and expect light delays. The road and business access will remain open to traffic, and the area will be plated each evening for safe travel.

Pedestrian Safe Walking Routes

Safe walking routes were updated to include the activated HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalk) light at 2100 West along 5600 South. Drivers: Slow down and be aware of the designated safe walking routes along 5600 South. Stay alert, watch for students and pedestrians in the area.

 

Pedestrian Safety

Prioritize pedestrian safety while navigating through our work zones. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Stay Alert – always be aware of your surroundings. Look out for construction signs, workers, and potential hazards
  • Use Designated Pathways – these paths are designated to keep you safe from construction activities
  • Avoid Distractions – Refrain from using your phone or wearing headphones while walking through construction areas
  • Wear Visible Clothing – Wear bright or reflective clothing, this can help ensure your seen by workers and drivers

 

Let's work together to keep everyone safe!
