Road construction work scheduled for U.S. 61 in Davenport
DAVENPORT, Iowa – March 17, 2009 – U.S. 61 traffic will be restricted to one lane in both north- and southbound lanes from Ricker Hill Road North to Howell Street in Davenport starting Monday, March 23, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Davenport construction office.
The restrictions, which will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, are necessary for pavement painting, shoulder work and patching. The project is expected to be completed May 23, weather permitting.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
