Sunday, Oct. 3

With no activity at the construction site this afternoon, I took the opportunity to take some photos of several areas of the road work.  It is often difficult to get good angles for pictures when work is in full swing, but today created a great chance to get some pictures.  The photos below provide an insight into how far the road construction has come along and how much is yet to be done.  The burning question that remains and will continue to remain for everyone impacted by this project until its completion is "when will it be finished?"
