Overnight road work on southbound Hwy. 169 has yet to lift. Crews are still working in the vicinity of 49th Avenue. One lane is closed from Bass Lake Road to just past 49th.

That has caused a traffic jam as folks try to squeeze through there. Plan on 8 minutes from north of Bass Lake Road down to Rockford Road.
