Drivers are advised of overnight traffic diversions on Highway 1 between 216th Street and 232nd Street over the next two weeks.

These traffic-pattern changes will allow crews to safely install girders over Highway 1 for the new Glover Road crossing.

All lanes on Highway 1 eastbound between 216th Street and 232nd Street will be closed overnight from Thursday, Sept. 14, until Sunday, Sept. 17. During these overnight closures, eastbound traffic will be diverted to one of the westbound lanes.
