Washington County Road Report
Road Report
Tired Of Seeing ORANGE?
Who isn’t?
This special report will help motorists avoid road construction and closures that can delay them!
This summer about 128 miles of county roads and neighborhood streets will be paved and sealed! Sixteen culvert and bridge projects and seven major county road improvement projects will also be under construction as well!
Besides helping people steer clear of these problem areas… “THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ROAD CLOSURE AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT” will help remind drivers to slow down, pay attention and keep an eye out for flaggers and construction workers at these sites!
“THE WASHINGTON COUNTY ROAD CLOSURE AND CONSTRUCTION REPORT” is yet another tool KUIK exclusively uses to keep Westside commuters relying on us for the latest information that will keep them away from annoying traffic snarls!
County crews and private contractors are tackling a long list of road construction and maintenance projects involving traffic delays and/or road closures.
All of this means increased concerns about public and worker safety in construction zones. The job of ensuring everyone's safety falls to the flaggers in the orange vests. You can help them by doing your part to reduce work zone accidents.
-Slow WAY down.
-Pay attention to the advance warning signs.
-Avoid distractions such as talking on cell phones or dealing with young children in a back seat.
Remember, while it may look like traffic is held up for no good reason, the flagger is aware of many work zone issues that may not be visible to you. These can include heavy equipment entering and leaving the project area, work on power and telephone lines, underground activity, pedestrians, bikes, etc.
Thanks for helping us improve Washington County's road system in a safe manner!
