Crews will be installing right-of-way fencing and cable barrier along the shoulder of S.R. 37. Slow down and watch for crews working.

144 Closure

Construction crews expect to remove the signal and close the intersection of Banta Road at S.R. 37 in early December to allow for the completion of the S.R. 144 interchange.
