Paving slows traffic on U.S. 60

Highway work started today on U.S. 60 in Livingston County.

 

Two sections are being milled and repaved. One section is between the Cutoff Road and Smithland and the other section is near Burna from the River Road to Mitchell Road. 

 

Paving along these sections is expected to begin by the end of the week.  Each section is expected to take 5 to 7 days to complete once paving starts.

 

Traffic is being controlled by flaggers with a rolling lane restriction in the work zone. Motorists should be alert for equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel on the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow. Some delays are possible during the movement and placement of equipment. 

 

Jim Smith Contracting of Grand Rivers is the prime contractor on this approximately $1.15 Million highway improvement project.
