Thought for the week: "Each day is an opportunity to clear our vision. Do not clutter up today with the leavings of other days." The U.S. Dept, of Trans portation lists its planned construction activities on Willow Creek Road for the week of Monday, July 20, and plans for dust control on the Shaw Creek Road on July 27-28. Tidewater will be continuing with the cut slope excavation and placing rock embankment with materials from the cut slope, working between the beginning of the project and Smith Ditch. The surveyors are on the project, placing stakes for cuts and fills, rock embankment areas and for the various culverts located along the project. They received the culverts for the unnamed tributary and Smith Ditch on Monday and Tuesday and planned to place them as they receive them. They will continue building rock embankments and placing culverts as they come to them. There may be some minor blasting on the cut slope near the middle of the project because of large rock, but it will not affect the road conditions. Tidewater plans to blade and water the Shaw Creek Road (the detour route) starting on Monday, July 27. On Tuesday, July 28, they plan to put down a dust palliative (lignon sulfonate) to control the dust for most of the construction season. As the lignon is being placed and until it has absorbed into the road surface, the public will want to observe the speed limit to avoid getting the mixture on their vehicles. There will be a pilot car with the distributor as it is placing the lignon on the road. Please observe the construction signs. The contractors appreciate your cooperation. Willow Creek Road (Coal Mine Grade) is closed to through traffic from Cutsforth Park to the intersection of Forest Service roads 5320 and 53. This intersection will remain open, to the logging contractor only, for the removal of timber sale material. The FS 21 Road, Penland Lake Road, intersection will remain open until construction activities restrict traffic with flaggers in the middle of July. Willow Creek Road remains open, to local traffic only, to Cutsforth Fark. The park will remain open for the construction season. Please observe the warning signs for the detour route and barricades at both ends of the construction zone. Please have a safe summer and remember that the barricaded road closures are for the traveling public's safety. For more information, contact Robert G.
