Construction will replace the bridges at Dola Ditch, 2 miles east of Kelbaker Road, and Lanzit Ditch, 2 ¾ miles east of Kelbaker Road. Traffic will be detoured using Interstate 40 and Kelbaker Road. Local residents and motorists will have access from Essex Road to the west, but will not be allowed through the construction site. For more information, see this story at z1077fm.com
