The weather is warming up, which means an increased number of slow-moving vehicles, construction equipment, and workers will be on the roadways. Warren County Sheriff Martin Edwards reminds motorists to slow down and be alert while driving:
“As always, be careful, particularly on the back roads, and expect that there could be a big piece of farm equipment out there running. Let’s get through a safe and successful spring,” says Sheriff Edwards.
“North of town on Highway 67, there have been flaggers out periodically because they are clearing the trees out right now to start widening the road banks out a little bit, so be mindful of them up there working and be prepared to stop; you don’t want to go flying through there as they work and try to get that road widened out. It certainly looks different now. There were road improvements right around Alexis between the two and four mile Y and that stopped at 270th Avenue. From that point on coming into Monmouth, it is going to be the same thing, the ditches are going to be reshaped, the right of ways being extended out a little bit, the road will be resurfaced, but there is also going to be some work on the bridge around Cedar Creek and then on the other side of Lake Warren,” Sheriff Edwards adds.
