Construction on G-40 east of Pleasantville is set to begin today. The Marion County Engineer’s Office says the construction area will take place between the Pleasantville city limits and 82nd Avenue. The road will not be closed during this time; flaggers and pilot cars will be used instead to control traffic using one lane for the public. Aspects of the project will include times when there are shoulder drop-offs, uneven travel lanes, and bumpy, rough roads for the public. The project will take about two months to complete. The Engineer’s Office thanks drivers for their patience and hopes people will exercise caution during the construction.
