The road will be restricted to a single 11-foot lane in each direction in the area of the Hulton Bridge.

The southbound dedicated left-turn lane will be eliminated during construction. Motorists traveling that way will still be able to turn left to cross the Hulton Bridge.

The roadwork is part of the $68.4 million project to replace the 105-year-old bridge with a new four lane structure. The new bridge will be approximately 1,600 feet long and will be located directly upstream from the current bridge.

The project also includes reconstruction of approximately 1,300 feet of Freeport Road and 550 feet of Hulton Road, signal and lighting upgrades, curb and sidewalk improvements, drainage and more.
