Work will be completed in stages with US 45 remaining open to traffic during construction. See the updates page for latest project information.

• Stage 1 consisting of preconstruction work was completed in 2023.
• Stage 2 will move all traffic to the northbound lanes while the southbound lanes are reconstructed in spring/summer.
• Stage 3 will move all traffic to the southbound lanes while the northbound lanes are reconstructed in summer/fall.

Side streets may close at different times throughout this process. Access to local residences and businesses will be maintained.
