TRAVEL ALERT: Intersection Safety Improvements to be made at US 160 and Bayfield Parkway
Crews will be adding a westbound dedicated left-hand turn lane onto Bayfield Parkway, located on the west end of the town. The work will take place Monday, June 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Earlier this week crews removed rumble strips from the roadway in this area, to ready the surface for new lane striping.
“The intersection has seen an increase in traffic because of the recent bridge replacement project within the town of Bayfield,” said Ronnie Medina, Traffic Striping and Signing Supervisor. “Drivers heading westbound on US 160 have been experiencing difficulty when attempting a left-hand turn onto Parkway, especially when there is traffic quickly coming up behind that turning vehicle. With fresh striping and a lane shift, we’ll now have a dedicated left turn lane and a dedicated westbound through lane, making this intersection much safer.”
TRAVEL IMPACTS: The traveling public can expect brief delays while traveling through the work zone.
Drivers will experience lane shifts and single-lane, alternating traffic in either direction. Motorists will be guided by flaggers and/or pilot cars. Delays of 5 to 15 minutes are possible. The public is advised to allow for extra traveling time. The work should be completed in one day, Monday, June 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
