March 10, 2020, 5:00 p.m. update: unidirectional flushing has concluded for the day and will continue tomorrow night, March 11, 2020. Flushing will be completed over the next few nights due to the high volume of traffic on some of the streets.
Hydra Tech will begin unidirectional flushing around 9:00 p.m. and will start on the first sequence in the list below and will progress in order.
