The crews will be working on this project for two separate periods, from November 6-7 and again from November 10-14. Despite Veterans Day falling within this time frame, work will still continue as it is an observed City holiday.

During the construction, lane closures will be necessary and flaggers will be present to guide traffic through the area safely. Drivers are advised to slow down and remain cautious while passing through the work zone.

If all goes according to plan, the project is expected to be completed by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 14, weather permitting. The City of Columbia urges drivers to plan their routes accordingly during this time period.
