Planned improvements on US-77 and selected cross streets accessing US-77 continue to be under construction. Beginning this past Wednesday work began to relocate the striping on US-77, allowing for the transfer of northbound traffic to the west side of US-77.

This will allow for the placement of a concrete safety barrier to be placed from approximately 500 feet south of Rucker Rd north to a point approximately 2000 feet north of Rucker Rd. Work can then begin to reconstruct the northbound side of the intersection along with the northbound right turn lane.

The concrete barrier should be in place by Thursday. Traffic wanting to access Reece/Nichols Realty will need to come from the south end of Rucker Rd. This phase of construction is scheduled for completion on or about May 4, 2016 weather permitting.
