Impacts and Lane Closures for Construction Project
Updated July 9, 2025
In late June, Whiting-Turner Contracting commenced construction of the Collins & Harding Roadway Re-Alignment project. This work is resulting in modified traffic patterns along southbound Collins Avenue / Harding Avenue, between 96th Street and 9800 Block, to facilitate the construction activities. The westernmost southbound lane will be closed. Each of the small sections will be reopened to traffic upon completion. Construction at each of these small sections will require 24-hour-lane closures, for extended durations of time. The overall duration for all of the small areas combined, as identified below, will be approximately (4) months.
