Cronograma estimado de construcción
Está previsto que la construcción de las mejoras del cruce ferroviario comience la semana del 18 de noviembre y se prevé que se completen en un plazo de 3 a 5 días (si el clima lo permite) en estos cruces ferroviarios :
- Avenida McCullough
- Avenida W. Hildebrand
McCullough Ave requerirá el cierre de los carriles exteriores y W. Hildebrand Ave requiere el cierre de los carriles interiores. No se espera que los cierres duren más de unas pocas horas. Las mejoras en los cruces se realizarán de manera escalonada para ayudar a minimizar cualquier impacto en el tránsito. Busque rutas alternativas durante la construcción.
