Single-lane traffic on U.S. Highway 550 will be the order of the day today in the construction area at the DoubleTree Hotel intersection. Single lanes are necessary to allow the replacement cement to dry and strengthen.
The concrete dries in 24 hours, compared to regular concrete, which needs five days to dry.
Single-lane traffic in the same area will be required next week as concrete work continues.
