Caspar said they hoped to do a good part of the work during spring break (April 5 - April 9) and would close Wisdom Road beginning April 3 or April 4 to replace the pipe that went under the road, re-opening the road before school started on April 12 so there would not be a conflict with school traffic. Learnard asked the duration of the road closure. Caspar said the work should be done within 45 days. Other than the week of spring break, there should only be partial lane closures the rest of the time. He added that they would be working non-stop on the restoration during spring break. It was weather dependent. Fleisch asked if the City had used Ronny D. Jones Enterprise Inc. in the past.
