Furthermore, a night-time closure is scheduled for Sunday (4/27) on I-75 South for the installation of a new overhead sign. Traffic shifts scheduled for last week on I-24 have been re-scheduled due to inclement weather. The shift on I-24 East is now planned for Monday (4/28) between 9 PM and 6 AM from close to Belvoir Avenue to Spring Creek Road. This closure is necessary to shift the current 3 lanes of traffic from the outside edge of the roadway to newly constructed median (inside) lanes. On Tuesday (4/29) the contractor will have nighttime lanes closures on I-24 West in the same area to shift the 3 lanes in this direction from an outside alignment to newly constructed lanes in the median (inside).

Moore Road) will be temporarily closed for realignment and detours will be posted. All traffic shifts (I-75 North, I-75 South, I-24 East, I-24 West) are expected to be completed in one night. However, should unanticipated problems occur, all incomplete work for these changes will be carried out the next night. This type of work is very weather sensitive, and should it not be able to be performed on these dates it will take place the next available night.) It may be necessary to do short duration (15 to 30 minutes) rolling roadblocks during the day or night for patching potholes, clearing debris or repairing guardrail, attenuators, etc. Portions of the left lane on North and South Terrace between Germantown Road and Spring Creek Road will remain closed for the installation of drainage structures, sanitary sewers, retaining and noise wall construction. (Note: The contractor currently plans to temporarily close a portion of the right lane on southbound Belvoir Avenue on the bridge over I-24 to work on an area adjacent to the bridge.) All work is weather permitting. The entrance and exit ramps to I-24 between Belvoir Avenue and Moore Road are currently closed. RESTRICTIONS: I-24 Ramps between Belvoir Ave. and S.
