Starting September 23, State Route 339 will be resurfaced, leading to lane closures and potential delays of up to 30 minutes. Construction will happen on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and is expected to continue through November.
Motorists should be prepared to follow pilot cars that will guide traffic alternately through the affected zones, specifically between Rebbecka Drive and the State Route 208 intersection. To potentially avoid this hassle, drivers are advised to plan to use alternate routes, including State Route 208, which can serve as a nearby alternative. However, those with over-dimensional vehicles over 12 feet wide will need to find a completely different path, as these larger vehicles are prohibited until the project's completion.
Despite the inconvenience, the result will be a smoother and more reliable road surface for travelers. Alongside the resurfacing, the project will include the replacement of roadway cattle guards and enhancements to roadway drainage. According to the NDOT announcement, residents along the route can expect continued access to side roads and driveways, though brief interruptions may occur during paving operations.
NDOT advises drivers to stay alert and buckle up in work zones. Always follow the posted speed limits and watch for signs, even if the road work seems routine.
