Traffic signals may be turned off with traffic directed by flaggers. Closures resulting in detours at Ronler, Evergreen and Imbrie may occur from 10 p.m.-6 a.m., as needed, to prevent cars from traveling across new pavement until it has cooled.

- Traffic on the the 227th Avenue Bridge over Rock Creek, north of Quatama Road, is one-lane only, and the bridge has been weight limited to 13 tons.
