The project will begin Monday, July 23 (weather permitting) when repairs will begin to the pavement and to shoulder drop offs that were caused during last year's flooding.
Following repairs, Herzog will widen shoulders to two feet from Route H (Weston) south to Route 273 (approximately 2.8 miles).
Repairs are expected to take approximately two weeks.
Herzog will then complete the project by adding two lifts of asphalt over the entire project length, which should take approximately three weeks The 15 mile section will also receive new guardrail, rumble stripes and striping.
Included in this project are the resigning and design changes at the junction of U.S. Hwy 59 and Route 45 to convert it to a three-way stop.
Pilot cars and/or flaggers may be used at any time throughout the project.
