A years-long Kennedy Expressway construction project is slated to kick off next week, marking the beginning of what will be a series of lane closures for the highly-trafficked roadway.
The first stage will affect the inbound Kennedy, closing two main lanes of the expressway at a time, though reversible express lanes"will remain open in the inbound direction."
Project engineers told NBC 5 traffic reporter Kye Martin that first to close will be the two left inbound lanes, which will close from March to July. Then, the two right inbound lanes will be blocked from July to November with open paths to exit and enter at all exits. On weekends and overnight, exit closures are probable.
