Aurora Corridor update - traffic revisions

Traffic revision

On Tuesday, July 21, northbound traffic will switch to the east side of Aurora. When the traffic shift occurs, the following will not be allowed or available:

• Parking along Aurora (northbound).
• Left turns anywhere except at N 192nd and N 205th Streets.
• Through traffic on N 200th Street across Aurora or left turns to or from N 200th Street.
• Pedestrian access across Aurora at N 200th Street. Pedestrians wishing to cross Aurora safely should cross at N 205th or N 192nd Streets (see map below). This is in effect until the median of Aurora is excavated to the new grade (at least 1 month).

N 200th Street will open to traffic in both directions; however, only right turns to and from Aurora will be allowed.
