Important information for traveling on Route 4 & Bypass 4

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Motorists are advised that the intersection of Route 4 and Bypass 4 will be reconfigured as part of the Bypass 4 Improvement Project (between Port Union and Route 4). Traffic will be switched from the existing pavement to the new pavement. The new diversion road between Bypass 4 and Route 4 will be opened to traffic at this time. Please note that left turns will not be permitted at the Route 4 and Bypass 4 intersection from this point forward. The new traffic patterns will be delineated with pavement markings and signage both overhead and ground mounted. Message boards will be placed on southbound and northbound Route 4 to further advise motorists of the change. More information on the project and revised traffic patterns are available on the City’s website www.fairfield-city.org.

The switching of traffic is scheduled for January 11, 2012 beginning at 8:00 p. m.; weather permitting. The work will include placing the new signals at either end of the new diversion road into stop and go operation. Work will also include removing existing pavement markings, placing new temporary pavement markings, moving the portable concrete barrier, covering and uncovering signs and signals.

Signage will be posted and flaggers will maintain two-way traffic while traffic is being switched to the new pavement.
