Here's what motorists need to know before heading out.
Construction on the Four Canyons Parkway corridor continues to affect several key roadways on the city's northwest side.
Current traffic impacts include:
Drivers traveling through the area should expect delays and use alternate routes whenever possible.
The Crosby Avenue improvement project continues this week.

The good news for pedestrians is that sidewalks are now open on both the north and south sides of Patterson Road between 28 ¼ Road and 28 ¾ Road (Legends Parkway).
However, pedestrians crossing Patterson Road should continue using the crossing at 28 ¼ Road.
Lane closures remain in effect, and motorists should expect delays while traveling through the corridor.
