Weekly Road Work
Update
Work continues on the SD37 and US12 highway project as the October 15th deadline nears. The blinking lights at the junction of SD37 and US12 were activated on Thursday. It was reported at the Webster Scale weekly meeting on Thursday that the street lights for US12 will not be done for some time. There has been a delay from the manufacture in deliver- ing the anchors for those poles.
Phase six has started with dirt work between Railroad Avenue and Aspen Avenue. In the near future, a milling machine will arrive to take off the asphalt in that area.
Meanwhile on the north end of the proj- ect, Lien Transportation is expected to arrive Tuesday or Wednesday to start laying down asphalt. First the patch work will be done and the asphalt will be laid. The road between US12 and Fifth Avenue is ready for asphalt and dirt work will also be beginning as the nal stretch of work begins.
