Update: Work set for this weekend at Indian Canyon & the 10 pushed back because of rainy forecast

Here's an update about the construction work at Indian Canyon Drive and the 10 that was scheduled for this weekend. It's being put off until Monday and Tuesday because of possible rain. The newspaper is reporting: “Construction work that will close a portion of Interstate 10 has been rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday ... Westbound drivers will be forced off at the Indian Canyon Drive ramp from  9 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. Tuesday. The drivers will then head back down the on-ramp and onto the freeway, a simple detour that could cause delays. Eastbound drivers will be taken along the same detour from 9 p.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m. Wednesday. Rain forecast for the weekend, when the construction was originally scheduled, forced the contractor to delay the work ... The $16.5 million project at Indian Canyon Drive will replace the existing interchange with a new six-lane bridge that includes bike lanes, among other improvements. This weekend, contractors will install girders across the freeway to support the new bridge. Contractors do not plan to close the bridge again until the middle of 2011, when they will demolish the old bridge.” Miss Penny Lane: The forecasted rain also is forcing her to put off her plan to spend the weekend before Christmas at one of Palermo's pools.
