The intersection’s pavement will also be milled and resurfaced with new pavement markings and markers.
The date of availability, or earliest time the contractor can begin working, is Monday, June 15. Any lane closures needed to complete the work will be limited to overnight hours between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
