Road construction will consist of placing a 3/8-inch chip seal, fog seal and striping. Work will be completed from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

One lane of traffic will remain open at all times; however, motorists may encounter lane restrictions, lane shifts, reduced speeds and flagging operations throughout the work zones.

Bert Miller, the construction engineer on the project, said the county does not allow full road closures for this project. Motorists should expect minor delays and allow extra time to get through the construction area.

Follow all traffic control devices when travelling through the work zone.
