EDWARDSVILLE – An improvement project is scheduled to begin Monday, March 17, on Troy Road between Franklin Avenue and Fifth Avenue. As part of the work, this section will be resurfaced, some existing gaps in sidewalk infrastructure will be filled, and two crosswalks will be added -- one signalized and another with a flashing beacon -- to increase visibility for pedestrians and cyclists. Drivers are asked to remain alert for workers as well as lane shifts that will be necessary while the road’s three lanes are milled and resurfaced.
