Route 59 Work Set to Start Monday

Work to repair an earth slide and prevent future slides along Route 59 near Warren is scheduled to start Monday, weather permitting.

Traffic will be restricted to one-lane. At first it will be controlled by flaggers but, as work progresses, temporary traffic signals will be used. Two-way traffic is expected to be restored by August 28. The project is scheduled for completion by May 1, 2014.

The work includes building a 160-foot retaining wall, and a 135-foot slope wall along the section of Route 59 about 2 miles from the intersection with Route 6. Work in the 1,200-foot-long project area will also include road replacement, paved shoulders, improved drainage and updated guiderails and pavement markers.

The $1 million project is being paid for with federal funds.
