No additional major construction to report this week.  Just a few lane closures for maintenance.

This Week's Construction:

  • Near the downtown interchange, expect lane closures on northbound Fillmore Street and southbound Pierce Street for tree and shrub removal.
  • Crews will be performing crack seal operations on SL 335 in both directions between 45th and 81st streets; watch for various lane closures on the loop.

Ongoing projects:

I-27 and Hollywood Rd. 

  • The left lanes of north and southbound I-27 will be closed from Bell Street to Sundown Lane for construction of crossovers.
  • As construction continues to make Loop 335 a 4-lane freeway, construction on the frontage roads begin today, as does reconstruction of the interchange at I-27 and Hollywood Road.
  • The process will begin with construction of two crossovers on I-27 that will stretch from just north of Sundown Lane to just south of Bell Street. Motorists can expect lane closures as work on this portion of the project begins.  The construction is expected to last 2 months, before they start the reconstruction process of the bridges at I-27 and Hollywood Road.
