High-speed internet provider Ritter Communications will be installing an overhead fiber-optic cable in Lowell/Rogers that will result in a temporary delay on Interstate 49.

Weather permitting, cable crews will be present along Interstate 49 between W. Monroe Avenue and W. Pleasant Grove to perform an aerial crossing on Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20. The work will require a temporary, slow-rolling stop and will restrict northbound and southbound traffic between Exit 78 and Exit 81 from 7-10 a.m.

Watch for warning signs and safety personnel during the work. ARDOT reminds drivers to slow down and minimize distractions when moving through a work zone. Using a phone in a work zone is unlawful and can result in citations and doubled fines.
