Street will be closed to after-hour traffic

Some street closing changes were modified this week  involving the West Elm Street project underway by Hohenbrink Excavating.

The Project will be broken into two phases for the street removal work:
• Phase 1 - Bentley Road to Diller Road
• Phase 2 - Diller Road to Spring Street
