Chip Seal Maintenance on Grid 777

    The RM of Hoodoo has contracted a crew to conduct chip seal maintenance on Grid 777, approximately 4 miles east of Cudworth, beginning Friday July 10th. This work is expected to take 2 – 3 days to complete. The road will remain open to traffic; however, motorists should expect occasional delays and loose gravel in the work zone.
