SR 72 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When will the project be complete?
The SR 72 project will begin construction in Summer 2022 and is expected to be completed in the Summer of 2024.
Will work be done at night?
Yes, work will be done at night when temporary lane closures are needed to complete construction activities to minimize impacts to commuter traffic during daytime hours.
Why is construction taking so long?
Aerial and underground utility relocations began in 2019 and were completed in Fall 2021. This phase of work took time because each utility company relocated their facilities and abandoned their old utilities one at a time before the next utility began their relocations. The aerial relocations included electric lines and communication facilities. The underground relocations include over 50,000 feet of gas, water main, and sanitary sewer lines and communication conduits. It was important to complete the utility relocations outside of the limits of the proposed road prior to the roadway reconstruction to prevent construction delays.
