The weather we’re all expecting Sunday will close all but one lane on Eastbound Hampden Ave. and northbound Havana St. from Yosemite St. to Girard Ave. on Saturday.

The operations paving two lanes should last through 5 p.m.

CDOT sent out an alert saying that lane resurfacing had to move to Saturday because the paving is done most efficiently at above-freezing temperatures.

Further expected lane closures are expected in these times and places, according to CDOT:

Thursday, Oct. 31 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. along northbound Havana Street from Dartmouth Avenue to Parker Road.

Friday, Nov. 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. along east and westbound Hampden from Yosemite Street to Oneida Way

Saturday, Nov. 2 from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. along east and westbound Hampden from Oneida Way to Dahlia Street.
