Traffic delays on East Broadway (Route WW)
									
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The Public Works Department announced that
delays in traffic flow on East Broadway between Old 63 and Brickton Road
will be experienced during the construction of the East Broadway (Route
WW) Improvements Project. 
	Emery Sapp and Sons Inc. of Columbia, Mo., is currently in the
process of removing roadway rock by use of explosives along this
corridor on a daily basis. For safety reasons to the public and
construction personnel, it is required that all two-way radios and cell
phones be turned off while traveling through the construction zone.
Periodic delays of 30 minutes or more will occur, typically around 3
p.m., in order to set charges off and clean debris which may have fallen
onto the traveled roadway. This phase of construction is expected to
last approximately two weeks, weather permitting.
	It is anticipated that total project construction will be
completed in the winter of 2005. East Broadway will remain open to
traffic throughout the reconstruction, however, temporary delays in
traffic flow as construction progresses should be expected. Care should
be exercised in the construction area and alternate routes should be
used.
