"State transportation officials have temporarily halted a road construction project after discovering a pair of red-tailed hawks have built a nest in its path.
The Pioneer Crossing project is a new east-west, multi-lane corridor from Saratoga Springs to south Lehi in Utah County. It's scheduled to open in late 2009.
Last week environmental monitors detected the hawk's nest in the construction area. The Utah Department of Transporation has installed a rope barricade that preserves an 800-foot perimeter around the nest site.
If eggs are present, UDOT expects to delay construction in the area until mid-July or early August." -ksl.com
