Grove Road Update
The culvert project on Grove Road near Green Street is underway, and a detour is currently in place for access to Green Street. The project is expected to be substantially completed by mid-October, with paving and guardrail work to be finished in the spring. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve this critical infrastructure.

 

Wishing you a great weekend,
