US 641 work will disrupt traffic Wednesday

As part of ongoing landscaping and other work to prepare for paving the final driving surface at connecting points for New US 641 South of Marion, a contractor plans to place a new cross drain near the city limits tomorrow. Crews cut the pavement last week, and will make the replacement on Wednesday.

Motorists traveling US 641 between Norman Road and Coleman Road at the south edge of Marion should be alert for a work zone lane restriction between 8 a.m., and about 4 p.m.. Motorists should be prepared to encounter one-lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers.

This work site is near where the old roadway connects to the new roadway.

Some minor delays are possible during the movement and placement of equipment to facilitate the work.

As a reminder, the contractor will continue construction and paving activities in this area in coming weeks.
