US 89 Shoulders Project - August 31, 2017

Current Work

▪ Excavation and placement of road base is ongoing along the entire east side of the project.
▪ Crews are continuing to work on the concrete waterway in various locations along the east side of the road. Once the concrete is placed, the concrete will need to fully cure before traffic will be allowed to drive across it. This curing process can take up to 28 days. Please do not leave impressions of any type in the concrete. Damaged concrete must be replaced, costing additional tax dollars to be spent.
