Work zone to impact traffic

From Enterprise Staff

As work progresses on the Corrigan Relief Route being constructed on the west side of Corrigan, motorists will experience a work zone near the main lanes of U.S. Hwy. 287.

In coming days, crews will close the eastbound shoulder of U.S. Hwy. 287 from west of Reily Street to Bear Creek Crossing west of U.S. Hwy. 59. Work will include the construction of temporary asphalt pavement in preparation of an upcoming traffic shift on U.S. Hwy. 287. The traffic switch is estimated to occur in March, weather permitting, and will include moving traffic from the main lanes of U.S. Hwy. 287 south onto the temporary asphalt pavement. The traffic switch will be necessary to continue work that will widen U.S. Hwy. 287 near the Corrigan Relief Route construction.
