Demolition has begun at the east end of the project outside of the travel lanes and will proceed through this week. Rain is expected for only one day this week and may not delay the project at all. The contractor, the engineer and the city continue to work with residents and businesses along the corridor as questions arise.


November 12, 2024:

Crews are working on the power poles on the North side of Poinsett. For safety reasons, traffic will be one-way moving toward town for a short period of time. As the project moves closer to town, it will be open to two-way traffic on the one-lane road monitored by flagmen.
