Paving will begin Thursday 10/9, weather permitting, and will most likely continue
through the end of next week. The forecast shows high probability of weather
related delays in the next 5 days. Weather delays could push paving into the
following week. Expect slower speeds during day time hours.
Traffic is detoured at Swan Creek through Spring, 2009 with 35 mile-per-hour speed limits strictly enforced
due to reduced visibility.
