At 3 p.m. today, westbound traffic from 3800 - 3900 Poplar Avenue will shift into the far-left eastbound lanes to facilitate water main repairs.

As a result, eastbound traffic will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes along this stretch.

The traffic shift is expected to last approximately two weeks while crews complete the necessary repairs. Drivers are encouraged to use caution in the area and consider alternate routes to minimize delays.
