- Work Zone Awareness Week starts Monday, but safety is a priority every day. Please remember to slow down, pay attention and expect the unexpected. Keep in mind more drivers are killed in work zone accidents than highway workers.
Next week’s scheduled closures are as follows:
| LOCATION | DURATION | DESCRIPTION |
| North Mesa | Daytime
April 9-13 9 am to 4 pm daily
|
· North Mesa Street (SH 20) westbound will have a right lane closed between North Desert Boulevard and Osborne Drive.

| North Mesa | Continuous – 24/7
Until 4 pm April 13
|
· North Mesa Street (SH 20) eastbound will have a right lane closed between Osborne Drive and North Desert Boulevard.
The closure is necessary to prevent high clearance vehicles from colliding with an overhead platform. The platform is in place so crews may complete construction of a bridge substructure.
Note: In the next couple of weeks, crews will increase their presence along North Mesa Street (SH 20) between Osborne Drive and Remcon Circle. The pavement needs to be replaced in that section of North Mesa Street (SH 20), per GO 10’s design plans. The work will mean motorists can expect more lane closures, periodic shifts in lane patterns, and increased traffic congestion for the next nine months.
