The project also includes drainage structure adjustments and sidewalk ramp upgrades.

The project kicked off on Monday, May 15, and is expected to last through the month of July.

Drivers should expect lane closures and traffic regulators. Paving is scheduled for completion at night in early to mid-June.

MDOT said this work will improve the driving surface of the road, extend the life of the roadway, and bring sidewalk ramps up to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
