Two Marshall County resurfacing projects to start soon

Contractors will soon begin two resurfacing projects near Guntersville in Marshall County.

Weather permitting, Vulcan Materials will start Monday, May 12, resurfacing about seven miles of US-431. The project extends from the north end of the Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Tennessee River in Guntersville to Cathedral Caverns Highway, south of Grant. The $6.8 million project includes paving with a high-friction surface treatment to help reduce spray and hydroplaning in wet conditions.
