Motorists are advised that the existing middle traffic lane on southbound Green Valley Road just north of Business Center Drive will be closed until fall 2016. Two existing traffic lanes will remain open on southbound Green Valley Road.

Eastbound Business Center Drive
The existing far left lane of westbound Business Center Drive just east of Green Valley Road will be closed until fall 2016. Motorists traveling from eastbound Business Center Drive to southbound Green Valley Road will make their left turn from one of two remaining traffic lanes on eastbound Business Center Drive.

Motorists should drive with caution through the construction zone, expect delays, watch for detour signs and flaggers. All work is weather permitting.


Project Benefits
Once this stage of work is complete, motorists will be able to exit eastbound I-80 at Green Valley Road again, and for the first time travel northbound and southbound on the new Green Valley Road overcrossing above I-80. The new overcrossing will include new northbound and southbound traffic lanes, a new sidewalk, and a new bicycle lane.
