Working Under the Lights

If you've noticed that a section of the west-bound lanes of Highway One have been torn up but you don't see any work crews, there is a good reason for that. They are doing their work during the evening and over-night hours. Matt Frye with the Department of Transportation tells CHSJ News, crews are setting up the light standards late in the afternoon and working from six pm until six the following morning.

Frye says there are many benefits to this new shift including safety and of course, less traffic means crews can get more work done. The re-paving is expected to take three weeks and the work will go right to the Somerset Street intersection near the new Chateau Saint John hotel.
