Road Diet Project for Rt. 31 Set to Begin Sept. 30

Superior Striping, the City contractor, will begin removing existing pavement markings using water blasting technology, followed by the removal of raised reflective pavement markers. Temporary striping will then be applied before the permanent pavement markings are installed. These new markings will reconfigure the roadway into one lane in each direction with a center turn lane. Once completed, new raised pavement markers will be placed throughout the project area.

During construction, at least one traffic lane will remain open in each direction, but motorists should expect delays. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time or seek alternate routes. The project is expected to be completed by Oct. 31.
