The Council of San Benito County Governments said that nighttime work will take place on Hwy. 25 between Hudner Lane and the San Benito/Santa Clara County line Saturday and Sunday. Construction work is scheduled between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Drivers can expect travel delays during night work. There will be flaggers and a pilot car to get drivers through the area. Nighttime construction work includes paving the roadway shoulder and placing temporary K-rail barriers.
California Highway Patrol will be in the area for the safety of drivers and construction workers. The Council of Governments reminds drivers to slow down during construction and obey traffic control.
Construction of the Hwy. 25 Safety Project began on June 1, 2009. The highway will be widened to install a concrete median barrier from Hudner Lane to Shore Road and from just north of Shore Road to the County line. Several private driveways along the route will be closed to decrease the number of access points along the highway, minimizing conflicts between through traffic and slow-moving vehicles entering the roadway.
Construction is scheduled to last approximately 10 months with estimated completion in April 2010. Construction will require lane closures that will result in travel delays. Much of the work will be completed at night to avoid impacts to the traveling public.
