Plainfield Township to Post Curve Sign on River Road to Curb Accidents

Residents have long complained about the danger posed by the bend in River Road near Renwick, particularly since there is no warning to drivers.

Look for new road signs warning drivers about “The Curve.” 

The sharp turn on River Road, just north of Renwick Road, has been a hazard for decades. There were three accidents there over the course of a couple of hours a week ago Thursday after just a light dusting of snow, neighbors report.

Plainfield Township highway officials have ordered a new directional arrow curve sign and one posting the speed limit at 15 miles per hour.
