UPDATE: Major delays expected on Red Wolf Boulevard

Brandon Tabor, KASU News

UPDATE 3/29/16:

Road work continues this week on Red Wolf Blvd between Johnson and Aggie. 

On Tueday, the inside southbound lane and both northbound lanes are open.  The outside southbound lane is closed as construction begins to create a 200-foot deceleration lane for right turns on to Alumni Blvd. 

Last week, crews worked to remove the median and create a turning lane.  City officials say the project which was estimated to take 2 weeks is now ahead of schedule.

Motorists are encouraged to avoid a section of Red Wolf Boulevard for the rest of the month. 

A section between Johnson Street and Aggie Road is reduced to one lane. 

Workers are removing the median between northbound and southbound traffic.  Officials say the objective is to create a turn lane along the stretch.  Both inside lanes from Johnson to Aggie will be closed while construction takes place. 

Motorists are urged to use extra caution and expect major delays during this period.
