Traffic will utilize the parking lanes as driving lanes while alternating lane closures take place. During this time no parking on Hwy 95 will be allowed. Driveway culverts will also be repaired and residents will be asked not to park on their driveways at this time for safety reasons and so that the concrete will have time to cure.
