Gone, that seems like a great idea, but the fact that it is going to take TWO WEEKS makes me think that even if they only work at night, the roads will still have to be closed.

They should do this at night when it would be somewhat cooler and less traffic congestion.  Doing it at night would not affect businesses as much.

Has anyone noticed that the Magnolias near Savannah CT have started to turn brown? I wonder if it’s due to the construction?
