  • All business entrances will remain open during business hours
  • Turning movements at the Rio Road signal, including left turns and u-turns, may be restricted between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

During the overnight closures additional detour signs, cones and other traffic controls will direct motorists through the work zone. The speed limit remains 35 mph at all times. The nighttime work will continue for the next several months.
