During construction, drivers can expect lane restrictions on S.R. 85, from Hospital Drive to U.S. 90, between 8 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Access to adjacent businesses will be maintained at all times.

All activities are weather-dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers are reminded to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
