Forest Road and River Drive Sanitary Sewer Separation Project – River Drive is now not expected to be reopened until next week.

Starting Monday, May 14th, West Locust Street between Washington Lane and Washington Street will be reduced to a single lane of travel for each direction on the north side.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes to avoid possible delays.
