Construction began last month to build a new passing lane on U.S. Highway 95 near Ferdinand to smooth traffic flow and provide a safer opportunity to pass for northbound drivers. Drivers should expect to slow to 45 mph during working hours and 55 mph during off hours through the work zone. The contractor will be working primarily Monday – Friday during daylight hours. Motorists may encounter intermittent flagging with alternating traffic that could create 15-minute delays. The 1.1-mile passing lane will be built on the northbound side of US-95 between Windy Loop Road and Lauer Crossing Road. Starting at the existing edge line, workers will construct the new 12-foot-wide concrete passing lane and widen the existing shoulder by 6 feet. All construction is expected to end in August. The photos above are taken heading South just outside of Ferdinand. Click on each photo for a larger view.
