Although the term D-Day is used routinely as military lingo for the day an operation or event will take place, for many it is also synonymous with June 6, 1944, the day the Allied powers crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control during World War II. By the end of June, the Allies had 850,000 men and 150,000 vehicles in Normandy and were poised to continue their march across Europe. |

 As we enter the months of summer, residents will start to notice another summer event - road construction. Construction in Kingsburg is already well underway with the City currently working on the reconstruction of 20th Avenue south of Sierra St. This work will also include the reconstruction of the cross streets in the same neighborhood (Riverside, Plumas, Lindquist).
In addition, Tulare County is currently reconstructing Mendicino (18th Ave.)/SR99 overpass. This work will occur mostly at night, but residents can expect some delays when traveling in this area.
