Anticipated Impacts

• Excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and pavers will be used for construction. Noise from equipment will be audible and some equipment may cause vibrations.
• Trucks will deliver material to the site and haul material away. Noise from equipment and moving of material will be audible.
• Asphalt will be laid which may result in audible noise and some vibration from equipment.
• Site lighting and generators will be used to power lights which are a safety requirement for overnight work. Crews will place and/or direct the light away from residences to mitigate
  any impacts.
• Night work is needed at times to accommodate work that requires traffic closures that cannot be done during the day, thus mitigating impacts on the travelling public.
• Motorists should adhere to detours, traffic control signage, posted speed limits, allow for added travel time and use extra caution when moving through active construction corridors as traffic patterns change.
• Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized detours are in-place to ensure safety.
