Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) is planning to utilize the City maintenance closure to perform the work, thus avoiding the need for an additional weekend closure of the DVP ramps. However, in the event of cancellation of the City maintenance closure, or inclement weather, additional closure of the ramps will be required to accomplish the work.
