The median crossover striping project will convert the intersection to two separate intersections for the northbound and southbound SR-157 roadways.

Currently, both legs of SR-36 must stop at SR-157. This maintenance project will add stop signs and striping in the median crossover to require traffic to stop again before exiting the crossover.

Please expect temporary closure of the crossover while work is underway. Visit ALGOTraffic.com for real-time traffic updates.
