Update for May 30, 2008
The weather continues to be cool and rainy, but the river is dropping. Let’s continue to hope for a quick return to those clear warm days and nights not only for the road construction, but also for those fishermen, rafters, and campers.
Please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs placed for the public’s safety.
Here is the summer schedule at a glance:
| Time | Delay |
| 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. | 2-hour delays |
| 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. | open road |
| 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. | 30-minute delays |
