This week, crews on Highway 28 picked up where they left off before the holiday weekend, and continue milling and reclaiming between Starbuck and Cyrus. Paving is expected to start by mid-next week, weather permitting! Please obey flaggers and follow pilot cars.
On the other side of the project, crews have started final striping between Morris and Cyrus! As a reminder, during these operations, residents and other local traffic should continue to watch for workers, slow-moving equipment and obey traffic control.
The rainy weather has caused some changes to the schedule in Cyrus. Concrete crews were planning to start in Phase 1 this week, but weren't able to begin the curb and gutter work due to the wet conditions. They plan to return on Monday, July 13 to allow time to dry out. And Phase 2 underground utility work continues.
A reminder to those heading to/from Cyrus, you cannot access Cyrus from the west. Continue to enter Cyrus from the south on County Road 3, turn left on Third Street and use Chippewa Street to cross Highway 28.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent.
Please support your local businesses! During the in-town work, if you're trying to access a business within the work areas, check in with them on the best way to get there. You may have to park on a side street and walk up, or use a back door. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
 Other local traffic safety reminders:
- This is an active work zone, even in areas where workers aren't present. Please slow down, and travel with extreme caution and care.
- Always obey flaggers and follow pilot car
- Be alert for changing conditions, such as uneven, rough and/or gravel surfaces
- Watch for workers, trucks hauling, and slow-moving heavy equipment
The highway is closed to thru-traffic. If you don't have a destination along the roadway, please follow the signed detour route. For access to Cyrus, follow the detour and from County Road 18 use County Road 3 to enter from the south.
