WHAT WORK IS TAKING PLACE?

Kennedy Station has advanced to a state to allow the temporary traffic deck to be removed from the roadway. The removal will take place in two stages. Crews will begin with the removals on the east side of the intersection. The first stage (depicted below) will begin as early as May 9 and continue for approximately three (3) months. The removal of the decking will improve road surface quality.
