Construction on sidewalks near the new Civic Center will close a southbound lane of MacArthur Bouelvard at San Miguel Drive from today through mid-August, according to the Newport Beach website.
The number three southbound lane will be closed “to facilitate a safe working environment” for sidewalk upgrades as part of the adjacent Civic Center project, the city’s website states. The lane will be closed Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m..
“Every effort is being made to reduce the amount of time needed for the lane closure,” the website states. “Your patience is appreciated and alternate routes of travel are highly recommended.”

Did anyone at the City of Newport Beach notice traffic volumes on MacArthur are highest during July and August because of beach / vacation traffic? I don't understand the timing for a lane closure.
