Working Hours: NEW LANE REDUCTIONS/SHIFTS
U.S. 50 will be reduced to one lane in each direction beginning July 13 at 9 p.m. through Friday, July 25, 8 a.m. from SR 207 Kingsbury Grade to Elks Point Rd. with north and southbound lane reductions. No lane restrictions are expected on weekends.
Drivers can anticipate moderate travel delays through the work zoneThree inches of aging roadway surface will be removed and replaced with new asphalt.A minimum of one lane in each direction will stay open at all times.Speeds will be reduced to 35mph through work zonesWhile access to businesses and residences will be continuously maintained in most areas, certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted as roadway excavation takes place in the immediate area. Steel plates and earthwork will then be used after excavation to reestablish side street access.
Noise Impacts During Paving
Residents along US 50 can expect to hear some work noise in the area during daytime hours while crews grind out the old asphalt and at night while paving.We are taking several precautions to minimize the noise level with select equipment and tools not to exceed 70dBA, or comparable to a lawn mower from 100 feet. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this major improvement project!
