I checked the date of this article twice. Road construction in January? Next I checked the extended forecast for over a week. Minimal chance of precipitation and high temperatures in the low 30s. Is the weather just good enough for the bridge repairs? Usually road repairs are done when there's more daylight. But some summer repairs are done at night, too.
