All eastbound and westbound traffic  was switched to the westbound side of Route 22 with one lane of traffic in each direction from Carter Road  on the west end through Auction Barn Road on the east end (22 B-10 limit of work). Grading of slopes, drainage and pavement continues for the eastbound lanes.  Westbound lanes have been completed. Utility relocation has been completed for the entire B09 section.

A new temporary signal and crossover for Garrigan Hill Road is also in place with the removal of the old temporary signal for Route 1029 (the temporary entrance for Westinghouse Road).  Access to Westinghouse Road (and the Westinghouse Plant) will now be accomplished by using the newly constructed ramp which is approximately 200 yards east of Garrigan Hill Road.

A temporary traffic signal will also be utilized at the intersection of Route 22 and Route 982.  The temporary signal will be replaced with a permanent signal when the eastbound lanes are completed.

A reduced speed limit of 40 mph is in effect through the construction zone.  Please use caution while traveling through the construction zones.

BACKGROUND  The project consists of the upgrade of the existing U.S. Route 22. This portion of the U.S. Route 22 reconstruction will upgrade S.R. 0022, Section B09 from a three and four-lane facility to all four-lanes with provisions for a fifth turning lane at appropriate locations. In general, the improvements will widen the roadway to two lanes in each direction. A concrete median barrier will be constructed and left turns will be restricted to areas where openings in the concrete median barrier are provided. The distance between openings in the median barrier, where turnarounds can be negotiated, will be at approximately 2 mile intervals. A traffic signal will be installed at the Route 22/982 intersection.
