📰 News we're reading
• Overnight I-81 Lane Closures Planned in Frederick County (thewinchestergazette.com) — If you drive around Winchester or Frederick County this week, expect overnight I-81 lane closures, slower speeds, and daytime work on major routes like 7, 11, 37, 50, and 522. Crews will be paving, painting lines, and working on bridges and utilities through late September, so plan extra time and watch for flaggers and detours near key commuter roads.
