Phase II – September 2018 to end of Spring 2019: Findings from Phase 1 project discussion for two construction concepts of the below-ground option.

- Option 2: substantial amount of construction accomplished before a shorter duration traffic closure.
- General Timeline for each option and an estimate of extra travel time for some typical travel patterns through the construction zone.
