Hope the roadster will be making an appearance!

Hope the roadster will be making an appearance!

I had planned on it, earlier on, but unfortunately ran out of time to prep before convention,
and no room in one of the enclosed trailers, to keep it out of the rain. Rain expected today.

Today and next few days appear to be cooler, upper 70's to low 80's.

Weather looks like it may be OK for the Track Day and for DeLorean Skilled Driving Event.
Looks like the weekend will be dry and about mid 80's temps are expected for the weekend.

Construction Traffic Alerts near Pheasant Run Resort during DCS 2018

After traveling to and from Pheasant Run Resort this Summer, from several
directions, here are a few Construction Zones expected during mid-August.

These Construction Zones range from simple resurfacing, with reduced lanes,
to full Bridge Reconstruction Projects, so plan for delays on the routes below:

Route 59 - Northbound - from I-88 to North Avenue (South of PRR)
Route 59 - Southbound - from North Avenue to I-88 (South of PRR)

Route 59 - Southbound - from I-90 to North Avenue (North of PRR)
Route 59 - Northbound - from North Avenue to I-90 (North of PRR)

Route 31 - Northbound - Bridge Closed South of Route 62 (Near DMC MW)
Route 31 - Southbound - Bridge Closed South of Route 62 (Near DMC MW)

I-355 - Northbound from I-55 to North Avenue (South of PRR)
I-355 - Southbound from North Avenue to I-55 (South of PRR)

I-88 - Westbound from I-290 to West of I-294 (East of PRR)
I-88 - Eastbound from I-294 to the I-290 Merge (East of PRR)

Good News, Bad News on Current Construction

More Construction started this week on I-88 near Route 59 (expect delays)

Good News, the Route 59 re-paving North of I-88 has first layer down

Bad News, the Route 59 re-paving North of I-88 has first layer down,
so the second layer paving is starting, closing to single lane traffic.

Limited temp lane markers are difficult to see at night as well.

Alternate Routes for Route 59 include Winfield Road and Kirk Road.
