Traffic Pattern Change

beginning November 4, 2009

Motorists  will encounter a change in the traffic pattern on the Route 22 project that is currently under reconstruction between Route 982 and Westinghouse.

All eastbound and westbound traffic has been traveling in the eastbound lanes throughout the construction season.  November 3, traffic will be switched to the westbound side of Route 22 with one lane of traffic in each direction from Carter Road (22 B-08 limit) on the west end through Auction Barn Road on the east end (22 B-10 limit of work).

The change also involves a new temporary signal and crossover for Carrigan Hill Road 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 Carrigan 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.
