Disclaimer: All work schedules are fluid and are depended on the weather. Information will continue to be updated on this website regarding all changes.  

In order to make these road improvements there will be traffic changes, some temporary and some permanent. We are committed to ensuring the road and pathway's remain safe and passable for all users throughout the construction season.

The most significant changes will be the elimination of left turns on to Mendenhall Loop Road from side streets near each roundabout, which will be a permanent change because of the new traffic pattern created by the roundabouts. 

As construction progresses over the summer there will be be minor changes to traffic patterns that are put in place to accommodate construction along the road. As construction progresses there will be slight traffic pattern changes within the work zone.

For users of the pathway, there will be temporary disruptions as sections of the pathway are reconstructed. Throughout the construction season we will be providing a shuttle for pedestrians and bicyclists to safely travel from one side of the construction zone to the other, where they can continue on their way along the pathway. 

We will be posting updates here so you can stay informed about which sections of the pathway will be impacted and when. Updates will be posted weekly throughout the season.
