Construction is under way to widen or re-stripe SR-108 to three lanes (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane) from Antelope Drive (1700 South) in Syracuse to 1900 West in West Haven.

The full project features resurfacing and chip-sealing the nine-mile stretch of roadway, adding right-turn lanes at select intersections.

Work is completed on the majority of the project, though some work is expected to continue through late fall as weather permits. Some remaining work may be completed in 2010.

One lane of traffic will be open in each direction most of the time and crews will generally work during weekday hours, though some weekend shifts may occasionally be needed. Because of the large concentration of residences on the corridor, night work will be kept to a minimum.

   Weekly construction updates available here.

During construction, crews will maintain reasonable access to resident driveways and businesses as much as possible. On-street parking and access to driveways will be restricted when crews are actively working in a particular area. In some areas, however, on-street parking may be eliminated once the three-lane project is complete.

Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes or plan ahead for extra commute time, and pay attention to construction zone speed limits. Fines are doubled for speeding in the construction zone.


 

The three-lane project includes:

• One lane in each direction from Antelope Drive to 1900 West
• A center turn lane along the length of the corridor (in some areas, a center turn lane already exists)
• Adding right-turn lanes at select intersections
• Re-surfacing (chip-sealing) the roadway and re-painting lane stripes
