The majority of the utility trenches that were temporarily asphalt patched with a product called "EZ Street cold patch", have been replaced with a permanent asphalt product which holds up much better during the inclement weather and does not pot hole as easily with the heavy traffic flows.
Please continue to drive slow and safely thru the work zone and obey the directions and guidance given by the traffic control flagging crew.
All local business establishments will remain open during construction, please use caution when entering and leaving these locations.
Please be courteous and allow drivers to exit and enter side streets.
