  Paving of the entire road except at 12th Avenue is complete. New loop detectors for the signal at 12th Avenue need to be installed before this section of road can be paved.

Tips for safely maneuvering through road construction

The City offers these helpful reminders in dealing with Bloomington construction projects:

• Please observe posted detour and/or warning signs.
• Stay alert.
• Watch for signs, equipment and workers.
• Minimize distractions such as using cell phones, eating or drinking.
• Avoid tailgating.
• Follow posted speed limits.
• Stay in one lane while driving through a work zone.

Work zones can be danger zones if drivers don't use caution and good judgment. Driving too fast, not paying attention, following too closely and stopping suddenly are the major causes of crashes in work zones. Most people who are killed or injured in work zones are in vehicles passing through the work area.
