Construction on U.S. 160 scheduled to start

Mill and overlay of U.S. 160 from Washington Ave to Woodlawn Ave is scheduled to start Monday. Crews will be grinding down the surface of the highway, which is 15th Street west of the Roundabout and 16th Street east of the Roundabout, and then applying a new 2" layer of asphalt. Traffic will be allowed during the construction, however flagmen will be present to direct traffic through the area. When finished, 160 will be completely refinished from Pizza Hut to Penny's Diner.
