Pedestrian Safety…Watch Where You Walk
Pedestrian crosswalks are open at 2nd, 3rd, 4th and Lewis Street as an alternative to access businesses along Lewis Street or anywhere on the 400 block. Our team continues to see pedestrians, not practicing good safety measures, jumping barricades and crossing US 160. Our work zone is extremely active in several locations and we want to keep everyone safe!
