Strike at Plant That deadline, of course, was not met, but state highway officials said that the contractor was delayed by a strike atanaggregate plant" which furnished materials for; the project. In fact, they said, the contractor is "on schedule or maybe a little ahead of schedule." The state officials have refused to estimate when the road will be open, but indicated it could be a month or two.
