8/23/2024 Update

The project construction moved to the south side of Highway 6 on Tuesday, August 20th.

Exit from the south side of Arrowhead is via the East and West gates.

The construction work taking place through Wednesday, August 28th, will be installation of all of the deep and shallow storm drains. That will be followed by excavation for the concrete curbs and islands.

The project is scheduled to be complete by mid-October.
