Road construction will soon begin on a major Marion County roadway.

Construction on Highway S45 from the intersection of Highway 5 and 92 to Melcher-Dallas, including a two mile stretch of G76, will begin the week of May 7th. Marion County Engineer Tyler Christian tells KNIA/KRLS News the road will be single lane and the contractor will limit the road closure to only a couple of miles and have a pilot car directing traffic, but there will be delays and drivers should plan accordingly. The construction will take 2-3 weeks to complete.
