S. Northshore Drive Lane Closure [March 20-21] – KUB will reduce a section of S.
Northshore Drive to one alternating lane of traffic between Duncan Road and Coachman
Road from 9 a.m. –3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, and Thursday, March 21, as work
is completed on the natural gas distribution system in this area. All lanes will remain
open overnight, and for the morning and evening commutes. This closure and work will
be moved to Friday, March 22, in the event of bad weather.
Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the
conditions encountered during excavation and construction. Appropriate traffic control
measures, including flagmen, will be in place at this location to assist motorists traveling
in the area. Due to the ongoing presence of workers and equipment, motorists are
advised to use extreme caution and expect temporary delays in this area.
