Left turns are restricted everywhere except at East Raleigh Bay Drive on Val Vista Drive from Baseline Road to Guadalupe Road.
Those restrictions are because medians are being constructed. Conduit work for that is almost complete.
Traffic will remain on the asphalt base course until the final pavement is put down.
The work is part of a town project to reconstruct deteriorated asphalt pavement on Val Vista Drive from Baseline Road to Guadalupe Road, adding bike lanes, updating landscaping in the median and replacing three signs to bring them to current standards with flashing left turns.
The project began in March and is anticipated to finish in November.
The project cost $6.32 million and is being paid from town bonds and funds.
