Roadwork begins Thursday on Science Ridge/McCue roads on Sterling’s western edge

STERLING – Work on a 2.2-mile stretch of Science Ridge and McCue roads, on the western edge of Sterling, starts Thursday. The milling, which is the removal of the old asphalt, and application of a new coat could take a month.

The project, which runs between the bridge over the Elkhorn Creek on Science Ridge and on to the bridge over the creek after Science Ridge curves into McCue, will cost $317,139, and is expected to be completed on Aug. 20, Sterling Township Highway Department Supervisor Kurt Glazier said.

The roads will remain open while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control the traffic.

Motorists should expect delays, and avoid the area when possible.
