What to Expect

  • Construction began in January 2024 and will take approximately two years to complete.

  • Work will require lane restrictions and full closures on Loop 101, the interchange ramps and cross streets, and will occur primarily during overnight hours and weekends to minimize traffic impacts. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.
