Good morning, Springfield.

The series began with Waiting for Guffman on Jul. 28 and will continue with The Center of Nowhere on Aug. 18.

Motorists are urged to slow down near slow-moving equipment (tractor mowers and follow trucks) and follow posted warnings.

Road work on the I-44 bridge at Grant and Evergreen has closed the street, causing detours and congestion on Norton and other side streets as residents adjust their commute.
