(In response to Heights residents' complaints of noise from the I-95 construction)

The DOT made some adjustments by not allowing the dump trucks from letting the tailgate slam after
dumping. They also lowered the safety warning beeper activated when backing up,  to the lowest allowed
by OSHA. The best news is the night and early morning work should be completed in 2 weeks. I noticed the
post have been delivered for the sound barrier wall and hope this will be started soon.
