Question:
I travel the Airport Connector to avoid some of the congestion on I-15, and noticed the lane striping badly needs attention. It’s faded out and hard to tell if you’re crossing into another lane. What can be done?

Answer:
The striping gets taken off quickly on the Airport Connector. They just re-painted in July, but with heavy vehicles, and some 48 million annual passengers traveling this stretch- rutting happens quickly.

A major construction project begins today in the tunnel, and that means more heavy vehicles.

Don’t expect the striping to be clear and bold until the project is completed in summer, 2011.

The project is to improve roadway safety, and tie the tunnel into the terminal 3 roadway system.

If you, like Gerald, use the Airport Connector for a shortcut, that commuter convenience will be no longer, at least not until 2011.
