BACKGROUND: The area will be closed to allow the contractor to test the Highway Water Detection System.

Note:  High Water Detection Systems provide state-of-the-art public safety warnings to alert the public to stay off flooded roadways. During flooding, this advance warning station will advise motorists of flooded roadways by activating flashing beacons, message signs, and automatic road barrier gates. Typical problem sites include low water crossings, underpasses, and areas that are prone to coastal flooding. This system uses software to continuously monitor flooding conditions in the area and will issue alerts to key personnel in the Department of Public Utilities when there is a problem.
