Willow Road Traffic Alert

The contractor is in the process of making a series of utility connections from the south side of the street to the mainline storm sewer, under the west bound pavement, just east of Northfield Road.  These construction operations require the removal of pavement.  The work is expected to take place between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and at times the roadway will be reduced to one lane.  Construction flaggers will be in place to ensure the safe movement of traffic. Major delays are anticipated. 

These special operations are anticipated to be completed by Wednesday, March 18, 2015.
