ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. -- Unforeseen weather and site conditions have delayed the completion of construction projects intended to improve road surfaces on base.

Motorists on base should prepare for diverted traffic flow at several locations as a result:

· The intersection of Ellsworth Street and Scott Drive will remain closed until early next week due to paving. Scott Drive will remain open.

· The 28th Medical Group clinic entrance on LeMay Boulevard will be closed June 20 for paving, and will remain closed until early next week.

· The section of McConnell Drive between Bergstrom Drive and Twining Street will be closed from June 18 to 21. Airmen and their families will need to utilize alternate parking when using the football field.

· The section of Kenney Road on the west side of the airfield will be closed from June 20 to 28.

Alternate routes will be identified and temporary roads will be constructed where alternate routes are not available.
