Road Construction Headaches
May 19, 2010
Road construction in the Walnut Hill area created headaches for many drivers Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the stretch from south of Highway 164 to North Highway 99 was reduced to one lane that was open intermittent as paving operations continue. Drivers were delayed up to 15 minutes.
Ernest Ward Middle School, which dismissed at 3:45 was in the construction area, further complicating traffic problems when school buses hit the highway.
Lane closures — and delays — are expected again each day this week.
The 22 mile, $5.7 million Highway 97 resurfacing project is due to be complete by the fall.

Inspite of the delays, I think they are moving down the road pretty quick getting it paved. It will be worth it when they are done. It’s Looking Good!
So it sounds like they are going to keep paving down Highway 97 and the turn south when they get to 99?
