What to Expect During Construction

US 60 will be reduced to one lane only in segments no longer than 3 miles with alternating east- and westbound travel during construction. Vehicles will be directed through the work zone by flaggers and a pilot car. Work will take place Mondays through Fridays from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. No work is planned on weekends or holidays.
