Beginning today, July 10, northbound/westbound and southbound/eastbound K-18/K-177 traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction and will travel on the outside lanes while the medians are reconstructed.

Turning restrictions will still be in place at the McDowell Creek Road intersection. All other side streets will now allow left turns.

This configuration is expected to be in place until early August.

Permanent pavement marking will then be done in the project’s final phase. Individual lane closures will occur as needed. Traffic control will be in place to alert and direct motorists. Project completion is expected by the end of August, conditions permitting.
