PEORIA Motorists could encounter minor traffic delays next week as Forrest Hill Avenue undegroes a road diet, according to the citys Public Works Department.

In a road diet, lanes are reduced with the aim of improving traffic safety and increasing space for bicyclists and pedestrians, according to the department. Work will start Monday and is expected to be completed by the weeks end, weather permitting.

Restriping will be done on a one-mile stretch of Forrest Hill Avenue, between University Street and Sterling Avenue. The current five-lane roadway will be narrowed to three-lanes. The completed roadway will have one lane in both directions, a center left turn lane and bicycle lanes.

Wet pavement markings require several minutes to cure, and driving through them can cause unsightly tracking and damage to vehicles, the department said. Motorists are urged to use alternative routes and avoid the area.
