Construction Zones for Phase 3
The primary construction zone is from 36 3/10 Road to 35 3/10 Road.
Construction-related activity will also take place on the canal service roads from approximately 1/2 mile east of Elberta Avenue to 35 3/10 Road, and public roads in the area.
Construction Activity
Work may be ongoing seven days a week, up to 12 hours a day, given the demands of completing each annual component of this project while water is out of the canal.
