We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but know that we are working as quickly and as diligently as possible to make repairs.

We will make updates throughout the process to keep everyone informed of repair notices and when the roads will reopen.

We appreciate your patience as we work to repair the roads and make them safe to travel.

Keep in mind that there will be traffic delays in these areas. Please drive carefully for your safety and the safety of our crews.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Public Works Department.
