Beginning Monday, July 31, the contractor will begin construction on the new northbound lanes of Thornydale Road. During this work, traffic will be shifted to the west on Thornydale Road south of Tangerine Road. Traffic will be maintained to one through lane in each direction and a left turn lane in each direction at the intersection of Thornydale Road and Tangerine Road. Traffic control will be in place 24 hours. Work is anticipated to be complete by mid-September.

Beginning Monday, July 31 through Thursday, August 3 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the contractor will pave the new westbound lanes of Tangerine Road from Tangerine Crossing Drive to La Cholla Boulevard.
