Southbound traffic on US Hwy 51 was reported to be moving much smoother this past Sunday as compared to last weekend. Lincoln County Highway Commissioner Randy Scholz was able to persuade state officials to install a stop sign at the on ramp from Hwy 64. This measure greatly assisted in keep the southbound traffic moving.
According to Scholz, the contractor should be finished with the work the first part of this week and the entire highway will be open to normal traffic in time for the holiday weekend.
