About this project
Summary of work
Repair or replace concrete pavement on Hwy 169 from just south of Hwy 282 in Jordan to just north of Hwy 19 in Blakely Township
Construct Reduced Conflict Intersection (RCI) at Hwy 59/Delaware Ave
Install cable median barrier between Jordan and Belle Plaine
When you encounter a construction zone where a lane will be closed, perform the zipper merge. A zipper merge occurs when motorists use both lanes of traffic until reaching the defined merge area, and then alternate in a "zipper" fashion into the open lane.
