As early as Monday, September 18 and lasting until late October, work will occur nightly from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m., Monday – Saturday. This work is occurring at night to ensure it is completed ahead of the limited work window during the upcoming wet weather months. Work hours may change and are weather dependent.
