Closures will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday night, Oct. 12, 2018, and will end at 4 a.m. on Monday morning, Oct. 15, 2018. During this time, all onramps and offramps will remain open.

Specific closure details for this project are:

Right lane and shoulder lane will be closed between the Houghtailing Street offramp (Exit 20B) and the Likelike Highway offramp (Exit 20A), on Friday, Oct. 12, 2018, through Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, beginning at 8 p.m., 24-hours a day.
