Getting around during construction

During Phase 3, all efforts will be made to maintain two lanes of traffic on Fischer-Hallman Road. However, short-term full road closures will be required at specific stages of construction, including during surface asphalt placement. When closures are required, clearly signed detour routes will be in place in advance to guide motorists safely around the work area.
