Traffic is detoured as follows:

East/west access only crossing McGregor Boulevard at Lynwood Avenue, Alcazar Avenue, Alhambra Drive, Coconut Drive and Braman Avenue will be able to cross McGregor Boulevard.

A detour will remain in place during daytime and nighttime/overnight hours until work is complete.
