However, it should be noted that both the Capital City Trail and the North Shore Drive shared-use paths will remain open throughout construction. Additionally, there will be an overnight closure of the John Nolen Drive causeway from 11:00pm on Tuesday, June 2 until 5:00am on Wednesday, June 3 for a concrete bridge deck pour. The Capital City Trail along the causeway will still be accessible during this time.

These closures are necessary for the next phase of the reconstruction project and are expected to improve overall safety and accessibility for path users in the area.
