Just down the road, starting June 25, there will be traffic delays on Highway 43 between Range Roads 70 and 71, for construction of the Highway 43/43X intersection.

  • Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction in the westbound lanes during the first part of the project and two lanes in each direction in the eastbound lanes for the second part.

The intersection will be controlled with traffic signals and advanced flashing amber warning lights.
