Drivers passing the intersection of U.S. Highway 380 and Avenue K may have noticed a large number of wooden spools stacked along the road.
Andy Lepak, the Wisconsin native working on the project, explained that the spools previously held metal for the cable barriers being installed in the highway median. The cables serve to help prevent headon collisions.
