While much of the work to this point has been off the highway away from traffic flow, the contractor will be hauling dirt from one side of the roadway to the other. This will require flaggers to stop traffic to allow heavy trucks to cross the existing highway in this work zone during daylight hours on a Monday-through-Saturday schedule. Delays are expected to be minimal, generally less than a couple of minutes.
Motorists should be alert for stopped traffic as they approach this work zone at U.S. 60 milepoint 18.5 in Livingston County.
Jim Smith Contracting of Grand Rivers is the prime contractor on this $2.2 million highway improvement project. The anticipated completion date is Aug 1.
