RONAN — This week, paving operations on the northbound lanes of US Highway 93 (US 93) will continue. Concrete crews will also be onsite, installing curb and sidewalk in the area around Dairy Queen and the southbound couplet - the short, 600-foot two-lane segment connecting 1st Avenue to US 93, just north of the Round Butte Road and US 93 intersection.
Installation of underground electrical conduit for the new streetlights and traffic signal at the Old US 93 and 3rd Avenue intersection is scheduled to begin.
North of the Old US 93 and 3rd Avenue intersection, crews are continuing to work on building the new road’s subbase, and milling operations are underway south of Baptiste Road. Drivers should anticipate traveling on a gravel surface through this section of the project area.
Crews will be onsite tomorrow through Friday from 5 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Spring Creek Road Update:
Work continues on the new approach to Lake Seed. Paving is anticipated to occur next week, and once complete, Spring Creek Road at US 93 will be permanently closed. The closure is expected to take place late in the week.

Remember the three Ss of work zone safety when traveling through the construction zone: speed, space, and stress. Slow down when approaching work zones and follow posted speed limits. Leave adequate braking room between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Keep your cool, pay attention, and plan for delays.
