Project Details
This project is located on Interstate 64 through the Afton Mountain area. It entails installing variable speed limit signs at locations on eastbound and westbound I-64 between mile marker 96 and mile marker 107 to alert motorists of reduced speeds caused by potentially adverse conditions, such as fog, wind, vehicle incidents or congestion. Dynamic message boards along the corridor will provide information regarding reduced speeds.
