On Interstate 43, work will continue this week on the bridge decks between State 42 and County EE in the southbound median side lane of I-43. Work will also continue this week in the northbound lanes of I-43, between Wilson Lima Road and State 42, on all beam guard that needs to be replaced, raised or have new end treatments installed.
