Traffic will be placed into the newly paved section of the widening project, beginning at approximately MP 14.8, between Lukken Industrial and Auburn Ave., and shifting back onto the original alignment at approximately MP 15.98, in the vicinity of Union St/Fannin St. The shift will allow phase 2B of the project to begin, which will include the construction of two more travel lanes and a median.
