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.

    Please reduce your speed, use caution, and follow all signage and directions from the construction crews when travelling through the area.
