The overnight work will reduce the impact on pedestrians and traffic and keep crews safe while working in this high-traffic area. To help minimize noise disruption at night, the use of jackhammers/saw cutting will be limited to the day shift, and trucks will maneuver in such a way to reduce backup ‘beeps’.

During the day-time work, single-lane closures and partial parking restrictions will be in place on Marine Drive between 16th Street and 19th Street and on the 1300 block. The lane closures and parking restrictions will vary as the work zone moves throughout the corridor. Signage will be posted where parking is restricted.
