Motorists are encouraged to slow down when driving through or near any road construction site and be alert for construction workers. Once the surface is removed and before the new layer of asphalt is applied, the street will have a rough surface. Drivers, cyclist and pedestrians should use caution, especially near protruding manhole covers.
