SHE SAYS YOU’RE GOING TO STILL SEE ACTIVITY ALONG THE ROUTE. THE MOST INTENSIVE AREA IS AT RIO GRANDE AND CENTRAL, WHERE TWO PROJECTS ARE UNDERWAY: A-R-T AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERSECTION.
ONE THING YOU WON’T HAVE TO CONTEND WITH: GRIFFIN SAYS CONSTRUCTION BARRICADES WILL BE REMOVED FOR THE STATE FAIR WHICH BEGINS NEXT THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER SEVENTH.
