Can I cross over HWY 82 onto 27th Street as a pedestrian?We are now in Phase 3, which includes the underpass under 27th Street. Due to heavy construction equipment and the narrowing and redirection of traffic lanes, it is too dangerous for pedestrians to cross this section. We advise pedestrians to take an alternate route
