This phase is the removal and replacement of the center lane of US-36.

The center lane of US 36 will be closed through the entire city limits, with the exception of the intersection at D Street. 

D Street will be the only street allowing traffic to cross US-36 and enter US 36 in both directions.

All other streets entering US-36 will be a right turn only.
