Any word on 326 today?

Expecting a late running Q326-07 today. Q327-06 last night was by Bangor at 9:55pm & usually the crew for Q327 becomes the next day's Q326 crew and a 10 hour rest time is required once the crew is finally off duty.

I imagine this is the I-69 overpasses currently under reconstruction between Ensel and Grand Ledge. I don’t know the number of the intermediate signal just east of there, but this is probably in the vicinity of milepost 100. Bridge decks and drainage being rebuilt, lots of heavy equipment in the area up top and on the embankments.
