Next week, most construction will be on a temporary pause during the Hot August Nights special event. Some construction work will still occur behind barrier rails and shoulder closures. Final paving of the northbound and southbound lanes of Pyramid Highway between Queen Way and Los Altos Parkway will begin Sunday, August 11 at 8 p.m. and last through Thursday, August 15. Paving will also take place the night of Sunday, August 18. Paving and traffic impacts will occur at night.
Drivers can expect the following:
Increased truck traffic through the work zone, please be patient and drive with caution
Traffic reduced to a single lane in each direction nightly: Northbound between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., Southbound between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Two lanes of traffic will remain open during the daytime hours
NDOT encourages you to continue to patronize area businesses during construction.
Drivers can also expect intermittent nighttime access closures at the Disc Drive, Shoppers Way and Los Altos Parkway intersections, with detours available. Access between Pyramid Highway and Disc Drive and Los Altos Parkway intersections will not both be closed at the same time. If one is closed, the other will remain open. At least one lane in each direction of Pyramid Highway will remain open.

When Will the Lanes Open? |
When paving and striping operations are complete, the construction crew will be able to open the third lane going southbound on Pyramid Highway between Los Altos Parkway and Queen Way and the third northbound lane will be reopened from Queen Way to Shoppers Way. North of Shopper's Way, northbound Pyramid Highway will return to two lanes, and will not open to three lanes until after paving and striping operations take place north of Los Altos Parkway later this summer. Even when the third lanes are open, additional future lane closures may be needed to complete construction work within the project. |
