    WSB. You probably said and I missed it but how long is the work on the upper Admiral way bridge supposed to last? Has the contractor said when work will move to the south side of the bridge?

      No updates yet.

    high temperatures will only reach upper 60’s today I thought.

      Wishful-thinking typo. Fixed, thanks.

Sorry, comment time is over.
