Crews will work daytime and nighttime shifts (Sunday night through Thursday afternoon) to widen the road toward the median in two separate areas shown on the map above. The work is expected to be completed in October.

Project 1 is on southbound I-15 from milepost 64 to milepost 66. Project 2 is on southbound I-15 after milepost 70 to milepost 72.
