Morton Road Slated for Major Improvements
The busy road will be closed for approximately 45 days for major improvements.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 16, a portion of Morton Road will be closed for a major overhaul.
The project, expected to be complete Oct. 30, "will add turn lanes to the busy intersection, realign the intersection to make it safer, add 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of Morton, install a new traffic signal, and re-build a 600-foot section of Morton just east of Jones Bridge," according to the city's website.
According to the information posted on the website, "all motorists, including residents who live within the construction zone, will have to access Morton Road off of State Bridge Road. Detour signs will be posted."
It's all part of a number of improvements that began in December 2012 to Jones Bridge Road which is considered a major thoroughfare in the city.
