Scott County Conservation will temporarily close a portion of Gate 1 Road at West Lake Park for Phase 1 of the road improvement project, a news release says.
Beginning Thursday, Aug. 27, Gate 1 Road will be closed from the second entrance to Summit Campground south to the Lake of the Hills boat ramp for resurfacing. Summit Campground will remain open during this phase of construction.
During the closure, access to facilities beyond the construction area will be restricted. Visitors should follow posted signs and avoid the road construction zone.
Scott County Conservation will work with the contractor to reopen the roadway on weekends. However, the construction schedule remains dependent on weather and site conditions and may change with limited notice.
Visitors are encouraged to check Scott County Conservation’s Facebook page for the latest updates before traveling to West Lake Park.

The One Crispy Apple I'm Choosing Over Honeycrisp Right Now
Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!
