The pavement stripes are scheduled to be installed prior to the opening of all lanes on Wed. morning at 6:00 a.m. All lanes will be open by 6:00 a.m. each day.
The other section of Roosevelt Boulevard to be milled and paved is between Stagecoach Road and US Route 9. This section of roadway will be closed and all traffic will be detoured to Tuckahoe Road during the milling and paving operations. This section of roadway will be opened by 6:00 a.m. each day.
Wed., between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., the pavement markings (arrows, “ONLY” and gore hatching) will be installed.
Variable message signs advising motorists of the pending paving work will be in place on Fri., April 14.
