UPDATE: Traffic shift on US 31 between 103rd and Old Meridian Streets tomorrow, July 11

Beginning Saturday evening, July 11, crews plan to shift traffic on US 31 to the new pavement (outside lanes) between 103rd and Old Meridian streets. Once traffic on US 31 is shifted, construction will begin on the new inside lanes.

Following Saturday's traffic shift:

Crews will temporarily restrict northbound and southbound US 31 to one lane in each direction, plus turning lanes between 103rd and 116th streets while adjustments are made to barrier walls. US 31 will reopen to two lanes in each direction, plus turning lanes, before the morning rush hour on Monday, July 13.
Traffic will be shifted on 106th and 116th streets, and motorists will notice extended left-turning distances to and from US 31.
One lane in each direction, plus left-turning lanes will remain open on 106th and 116th streets.
While lane configurations will be different in this area, motorists will be able to make all turning movements.

Motorists should note that 126th Street/Carmel Drive is open to traffic. Also, pending dry weather early next week, crews plan to re-stripe 131st/Main Street to allow for two lanes eastbound and westbound over US 31.

Beginning on or after Wednesday, July 15, crews plan to close the slip ramp from northbound US 31 to Old Meridian Street to allow for storm sewer installation and other work. This closure is expected to last approximately 30 days. Access to local businesses will remain open.

Motorists may use 116th or 131st/Main streets for access to Old Meridian Street.
