Drivers who need to reach Green River Road may use the westbound 91 exit at Serfas Club Dr./Auto Center Dr. Fire, police, and ambulance will have access for emergency response. Construction activity is subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

Similar to the eastbound 91 full closures that occurred this fall, the westbound 91 closures will allow crews to safely continue construction of support structures and formwork for the new connector. The support structures for the new connector will be approximately 30 feet in height with more than 200 beams being positioned during these weeknight closures.
