Cone Zone Updates

As of November 1, 2025,  construction activity has slowed for the winter months. Most Cone Zone projects have wrapped up for the season; however, a few remain active. View current updates and traffic impacts for road construction projects and special events below.  Click live links for mapped locations and detailed project information. Active projects will be updated as needed.

Essential services—including mail delivery, trash and recycling collection, and emergency response—will continue throughout each project. Residents and businesses may still experience large equipment and construction noise.

Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution, reduce speed near work zones, and follow designated detour routes.
