Concrete panels crack during city project delays
Soules notes cracks in two 12 by 12 foot concrete panels on the 23rd and Iowa project, causing traffic disruptions. He says extra fees are not charged, lanes may close briefly after curing for markings, and the work should be completed by Thanksgiving or face damages. Other panels show no signs of problems.
