Expressway upgrades
Lawrence Expressway between Quito and Homestead roads is set to get a makeover. Rehabilitation work is expected to start late this month or early next month and last through February 2025. The work includes resurfacing the asphalt, repairing damage caused by tree roots and improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists at several intersections.
Seven intersections on Lawrence Expressway are set to be improved during this project. New pedestrian sensors, accessible pedestrian signals and new traffic cameras will be installed at three intersections. Other intersections will also see the installation of accessible pedestrian signals, pedestrian sensors, new bicycle detector loops and wiring. The bridge crossing at Stevens Creek Boulevard will also see improvements.
