I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the majority of the equipment is gone from the worksite at Cedar Creek Bridge north of town. The road bed has been built up and they are waiting for the paving crew to come in and lay down new pavement. Dare we hope to think it might actually be done by the end of the month?
Of course that will be weather permitting and we are supposed to get rain nearly every day for the next 10-14 days. It is that time of year after all.
