Motorists should be alert for lane restrictions required to facilitate the work. This is along US 641 near the 7.15 mile point.
This is part of a group Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) that includes safety improvements at several locations. Harper Construction is the prime contractor. Work at this site in Murray is expected to take about 2 weeks to complete, weather permitting.
