On the night of Tuesday, April 22 the contractor will close the left lane of U.S. 27 South between the Olgiati Bridge and Manning Street to pour diaphragms for the bridge over Manning Street.  On the night of Wednesday, April 23 the contractor will close the left lane of U.S. 27 North and South in the same area, along with Manning Street itself, to pour the bridge deck for the bridge over Manning Street.  All work is weather permitting.  If this work is cancelled due to weather, it will be rescheduled to take place on the next available day.  THP will assist with traffic control on the project as necessary.  Estimated project completion date is February 2015.   

Construction of a State Industrial Access route serving Volkswagen Group of America, including grading, drainage and paving:  Work on this project continues.  The contractor is in the process of clearing and taking care of environmental measures in order to start on road and drainage.  Traffic will not be impacted at this time therefore, no lane closures are needed.  Estimated project completion date is September.
