Each block along the corridor can be shut down to vehicular traffic - one block at a time for construction ease and time productivity (see below) as there are alternate routes
around each section. Intersections must be left open as necessary to allow the flow of
critical traffic but most intersections (except for Sunset Drive) can be closed down
temporarily for critical construction but should be opened as soon as possible. MOT is the
responsibility of the Contractor and will be discussed further at the Pre-Con Meeting to
assist in MOT plan submittal.
