The northbound detour from Golf Road to Glenview Road has been removed with 2-way traffic being re-established. The remaining work will be performed allowing for 2-way traffic at all times. However, during patching and paving operations flaggers will be utilized to direct traffic around the work zone. Travel delays are expected to continue until project completion.
