Loud grinding, drilling, and screeching noises are to be expected.
The work is scheduled to go from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. all week. Night work is also planned, but crews will be keeping the noisy jobs to a minimum during those hours.
Crews are working on trees and removing debris for the upcoming Fix50 Highway Enhancement Project. Eventually, a new sound wall on the south side of Highway 50 from Stockton Boulevard to 65th Street will be put in place.
