Jeff,
Please approve our request to extend work hours on this section of your project to 5 AM to 10 PM on 7/23 &
24/2014.
The waiver will allow us to finish the milling and paving in 2 long days rather than 4 shorter days and provide a
shorter inconvenience to the traveling public in terms of days and missing 2 morning rush hours and 2 afternoon
rush hours.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
