US 24 East Resurfacing from Falcon to Peyton

Project Complete

About the Project

Surface treatment work will take place along US Highway 24, between the city of Falcon and the city of Peyton, from Mile Point 318.5 to MP 332. Work will primarily consist of resurfacing, updating the guardrail, striping, minor signage replacement, removing the wooden rail at two structures, replacing them with bridge rail and guardrail, and adding centerline and edge line rumble strips. Work will be done in both the northbound and southbound lanes for a thirteen-mile stretch of US 24.
