The closures will be for a period of 1.5 to 2 hours each and crews will be moving to five different locations throughout the day in that lane.

By capturing images of vehicles and license plates at either end of the Linc and the RHVP, the City will be able to track the number of vehicles that travel the full length of both parkways.
