Overnight Lanes Closures for Detection Loop Installation – 90 Avenue Between 83 Street and 85 Street

UPDATE: This work has been rescheduled to July 28 & 29.

June 25, 2020 – Starting on or about July 9, 2020 crews will be installing Detection Loops on 85 Street in the 90 Avenue intersection of 83 Street and 85 Street. Detection loops are cut into the road and connected to the traffic cabinet. When a vehicle drives over the loop, or stops on the loop, it will activate the traffic changes. This overnight work will occur from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and is expected to last two nights. To accommodate this work, there will be alternating closures within the intersection.

Crews will be working in the westbound lanes on July 9 and the eastbound and northbound lanes on July 10.  Flaggers will be on hand to assist motorists. 

There will be noise associated with this work such as saw cutting and small machinery moving.  In order to not interrupt traffic during the day, crews will have to perform this work during night hours, however, they will endeavor to complete the noisiest work early in the evening.

To accommodate this work, the public will be impacted in the following areas:

• Alternating closures of the westbound lanes in the 90 Avenue and 83/85 Street intersection on July 9
• Alternating closures of the northbound and eastbound lanes in the 90 Avenue and 83/85 Street intersection on July 10
• There will be overnight noise associated with this work, primarily saw cutting.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained.
• Flaggers will be on hand to assist traffic.

During this time please watch for, and follow, all traffic detours and direction of construction personnel.
