A new traffic pattern will impact the Cross Pointe Boulevard and Burkhardt Road intersections starting on or after Monday, August 17.
Work to move barricades and shift lanes for Phase 3 of construction will take several days to complete. Drivers should remain alert, follow posted signs and obey the construction speed limit.
As part of Phase 3, the newly built Displaced Left Turn (DLT) will be used for westbound left turns from the Lloyd Expressway onto southbound Cross Pointe Boulevard or Burkhardt Road. Remember, DLTs require motorists to queue up before reaching the main intersection. Signs and signals will guide you through the intersection.
Here’s what to know
- Westbound drivers on the Lloyd Expressway turning left onto southbound Cross Pointe Boulevard/Eagle Crest Boulevard will use the new signalized DLT lanes. Be alert to occasional restrictions.
- Eastbound drivers on the Lloyd Expressway will continue to utilize the existing left-turn lanes at the main intersection.
- Right turns from westbound Lloyd Expressway onto northbound Cross Pointe Boulevard may be temporarily restricted at times.
- Westbound drivers turning left onto southbound Burkhardt will use either of the two new signalized DLT lanes.
- Eastbound drivers on the Lloyd Expressway will continue to utilize the existing left-turn lanes at the main intersection.
- Right turns from westbound Lloyd Expressway onto northbound Burkhardt may be temporarily restricted at times.
Construction areas will be separated from traffic using temporary concrete barriers and traffic drums. Please slow down, stay alert and give crews room to work.
Two through lanes in each direction on the Lloyd Expressway will be available during Phase 3, except for one short-term closure. Westbound Lloyd Expressway will be reduced to one lane to complete multiple storm sewer pipe crossings starting at 7 p.m. Friday, August 21. Crews will work 24 hours a day through the weekend until work is completed. Two lanes of traffic will be re-opened on or before 6 a.m. Monday, August 24.
Daily changes will occur between August 17 and August 24. Law enforcement will be on site to enforce construction zones and monitor progress. This new traffic pattern marks the last phase of construction for the east side projects. The new intersections are on schedule and anticipated to open by the end of this year.
During construction:
✅ Plan ahead✅ Allow extra time
✅ Stay alert in work zones
