Road Work

by Trey Wilkinson

Having begun Jan. 22, construction on Lee’s Ditch is well underway on Fremont Lake Road just outside of town. Flaggers keep traffic moving as the construction currently only allows for one lane of traffic – so expect some delays when you’re headed towards the Pinedale Medical Clinic. The new construction includes installing a portion of the precast box culvert on the upstream (north) side and diverting traffic that direction until they have enough room to remove the existing timber bridge. The new precast box culverts will be considerably wider than the existing timber bridge; however, the roadway and shoulders will not be made any wider. The scheduled completion date for the project is Sept. 20.
