CANTON — A project to remove concrete pavement at the intersection of U.S. Highway 18 and state Highway 115, west of Canton, will begin June 22. It had been set for June 15, but weather conditions forced a delay.

The intersection will be closed to traffic from 6 a.m. to noon. The removal work is part of a larger project to reconstruct Highway 18 into a four-lane divided highway from Interstate 29 to the city of Canton.

The traveling public is encouraged to use alternate routes during the intersection closure. Motorists are advised that intersection will reopen at noon with gravel surfacing until concrete pavement is completed through this intersection.

The prime contractor on this $45.6 million project is Reede Construction Inc. of Aberdeen.
