Full Notification

ROCKFORD –Effective July 12, 2010
Beginning the week of July 12, 2010 through July 16, 2010, the Public Works Department will perform arterial pavement striping in the Northeast section of the City of Rockford. The operation is dependent on existing weather conditions and is subject to change accordingly .
Arterial pavement striping will continue during the months of July and August. Citizens are urged to approach striping crews at a reduced speed that is below posted speed limits. Proceed with caution traveling into the lane adjacent to the pavement striper and maintain a safe distance. Changing lanes in close proximity to the pavement striping crew is not recommended. Recent changes in EPA Regulations have mandated that manufacturers remove solvent based driers from striping paint, thus creating extended drying times. Your cooperation is appreciated.
