Beginning at 9 a.m., Monday, July 18, 2022, one westbound lane along SR 976/SW 40 Street/Bird Road from east of Alhambra Circle to east of San Amaro Drive will be temporarily closed for stormwater drainage improvements. The closure will last about two months.
Drivers may experience delays traveling through the area and should seek alternate routes if possible.

This work is part of a districtwide drainage project. It includes constructing a new stormwater drainage system along westbound SR 976/SW 40 Street/Bird Road, reconstructing sidewalks up to current standards, repaving and restriping the roadway, and installing pavement markings.
