    • Location: University Blvd. & Buffalo Speedway
    • Duration: Estimated 6 weeks (Weather Permitting)

Temporary traffic control measures will be in effect during each phase. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution near work zones and follow all posted signs. We kindly ask drivers to plan their routes accordingly, as temporary delays may occur in these areas.
