Weather permitting, work is expected to take up to two days. During this time, motorists accessing the Super 8, Quality Inn, or One World Commissary will be required to use the new Stonelake Drive entrance, as the existing West Stonelake entrance will be closed.
Beginning on or after Thursday, July 25, crews will close West Stonelake Drive between Rappel Avenue and North Stonelake Drive for additional paving operations.
