    04-14-2025 Project resumes

    This week, on the south side of Highway 6, trees are being removed, excavators are moving dirt and providing the rough grading for the east and west sides of the main Arrowhead entrance. This will continue for another 7 -10 days. Currently they are on the West side of the entrance then they will move to the east and lastly to the north side of the roundabout.

    After this is completed (again 7-10 days) the heavy equipment will leave and smaller work trucks will be on site doing irrigation work, fine tuning the grading, planting trees, etc.
