Long-Term Lane Restriction on US 60 to Begin Late This Week

A long-term lane restriction is scheduled to begin late this week on U.S. 60 as work continues on the new interchange.

Starting on or after Saturday, May 10, U.S. 60 is expected to be reduced to a single lane of traffic at the new interchange under construction. The restriction is expected to be in place through late June.

Eastbound and westbound traffic will utilize a single lane of traffic. Movement will be controlled by temporary traffic signals located near Tillman Bethel Road and Morris Drive.

A right-turn only will be in place at Tillman Bethel. Traffic will use the far western roundabout to make a U-turn onto U.S. 60 to head east.

The entrance to Morris Drive at U.S. 60 is also expected to close during the same time. Access to the Hillcrest neighborhood will be limited to the eastern entrance. Hillcrest Terrace and Henry’s

Way can be used as alternate routes during the closure.

During the closures, crews will be rehabilitating the U.S. 60 bridge over CSX, widening and realigning the roadway, and working on drainage, curbs and sidewalks.

The new U.S. 60 interchange is expected to open to traffic late this summer.
