An anticipated start date for the State Route 292 and Garden Spot Road detours will be Monday, September 19th.

Drivers will be guided through the work zone via pilot car. Access to the intersection at State Route 292 and Highway 395 will be restricted for 15 days while crews work to construct a roundabout near Loon Lake.
