    Hello, forgive me for not seeing the information if already available, but is the West Marginal Way/Highland Dr. work being conducted only on weekends, or also on weekdays?  Thanks.

      It’s in the story linked above: “SDOT crews will be working the next several weekends, starting this weekend of July 17 – 18.

      Work hours are 4 AM to 1 PM each day to minimize impacts to area businesses and people driving on the detour route.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
