PIC OF THE DAY: That Dusty Trail

On an otherwise crystal clear Wednesday morning, workers on the U.S. 231/Bloomington Street project stir up a cloud of dust likely to make Pigpen of “Peanuts” fame cough. Utilizing both a leaf blower and a street sweeper, crews from Rieth Riley Construction are clearing fallen leaves and other debris from the stripped-down roadway, apparently in advance of laying asphalt on the road. Despite delays to the project this summer, contractors have said the Bloomington Street portion of the U.S. 231 project through Greencastle will be done by the end of November.
