Saturday Work Begins at Caracas Near I-275 on March 12, 2022

Beginning Saturday, March 12, crews will work 12-hour days (7 a.m. – 7 p.m.) on Saturdays, in addition to their current 12-hour daily workweek schedule, in preparation to tunnel under the interstate at Caracas Street on the east and west sides of I-275.The extended workweek will continue through early June, barring unforeseen conditions, until tunneling is complete and equipment is removed from the site. Residents should expect to hear construction noise and possibly feel some vibration during this construction.

Thank you for your patience as we work on this important project component.
