Design Construction Impacts
Agreement was reached with a property owner to replace an approach onto SR 160 with an approach onto a county road.
A change order was executed to remove unsuitable material that was designed to be used on the project from the project and replace it with select barrow.
Utility relocation work is scheduled to be completed by June 1st 2009. The completion of the utility relocation is taking longer than originally planned. The Project Office and contractor have worked together in scheduling the project work to minimize conflicts between the utilities' relocation, and the project work, to maintain the project schedule.

Impacts to Traffic
Some lane restrictions are needed during the widening and slope-flattening stages. Single-lane alternating traffic are occuring nightly during construction.
