Work to reconstruct Highway 28 is progressing with the replacement of a bridge over the Onion River near Highway N nearing completion. Concrete approach slabs will be laid this week while decking forms are removed. Milling and paving operations should begin this week beginning on the eastern end of the project at Highway A, working its way west, and flagging operations are expected to begin on Tuesday. Motorists are being advised of intermittent traffic delays and alternating traffic flow, and are asked to use caution, follow flagger instructions, and allow extra time to reach your destination.
