Safety is very important to SMART, and we are working hard to maximize safety during our construction phase. SMART’s contractor is also coordinating with local Emergency Services on contingency planning in preparation for the closures.

The public can help ensure safe project completion by following detour instructions and staying clear of all construction equipment and activities.
