The northbound left lane was to remain closed as the investigation of the
fatality continued, officials said.<br>
<br>
Northbound traffic was reported heavy as a result of the accident, but
southbound traffic did not seem to be affected. The woman was an employee for a
contract company called Anderson Maintenance that cleans the edges of the roadway,
the public safety department said. <br>
<br>
Although the transportation department is working on construction about ten
miles north of the accident near <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Beeline
Highway</st1:address></st1:Street> and <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Bush Highway</st1:address></st1:Street>, the worker was not with the
transportation department, spokesperson Bill Pederson for the state Department
of Transportation said.<br>
<br>
“The construction we had going on near the <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Beeline Highway</st1:address></st1:Street> and <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Bush Highway</st1:address></st1:Street> had nothing to do with
this,” Pederson said.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
