Indulgence requested of the passing motorists

The paving contractor at work on a new asphalt cover for a lengthy section of South Highway 11 in Oconee is clearing the air about complaints about one part of the work, in the vicinity of the overhead SC 24 bridge.  Marty McKee of King Asphalt says the chatter under the bridge and in the nearby vicinity is not the final product.  “That is not the final surface,” McKee stresses.  By milling that layer of asphalt, it will create a smoother surface.  There’s a mistaken belief on the part of some drivers that what’s there now is going to the final surface.  An interview with McKee is airing today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS.
