Lining operations are planned for the evening of September 19th and sampling work is planned for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday of next week. Motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 15-minute delays between 6:30 p.m. and 12 a.m. for lining operations and 30-minute delays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. for sampling activities. There will then be a pause until early-mid October when remaining excavation operations will take place, with one to two weeks of one-way traffic control, Mondays-Fridays with up to 15-minute delays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive carefully in and around construction areas, follow speed limit reductions in place, and allot extra time for delays.

I don’t think digging up Pioneers’ Graves for Culverts is a good idea for a Project.

Shouldn’t they rename it Colonizers’ Graves?
How about “Robber’s graves”
@ stars & robot
Both of those work.
Could make a nice headline one-day:
Robber’s graves grave robbed.
The only pioneer grave I remember was a child. Anyone know how many there are.
