The tree replacements are planned to get started soon, weather dependent. We will be planting thousands of trees and shrubs as promised. The expected traffic impacts are minimal, as we are still planning to be the least intrusive as possible to motorists and stakeholders. There will be intermittent and off peak, one lane closures only.
Specific closures will be listed on the “Road Closures” page prior to the start of each week’s work. Click the following link to see a concept and rendering. Concept
