Construction of the northbound side is set to be completed in Fall 2023. The project's completion date is anticipated for Fall 2024. Phase 1A (June 2023) In order to maintain traffic flow during the duration of the project, the southbound work between mile marker 104.7 and mile marker 110.7 began on Monday, June 19.
