Saline County Announces Road Closings And Openings

Muir Road from Salemsborg Road to Falun Road will be closed May 17th, for the replacement of a drainage structure with a new reinforced concrete box culvert (RCB). The structure is 0.3 mile south of Salemsborg Road and is over an unnamed tributary of West Dry Creek. The work at this site is anticipated to be completed by the middle of June. Of course, completion is dependent on unforeseen conditions such as adverse weather.

Through traffic will be restricted during the construction period and motorists are advised to allow a few extra minutes of travel time to reach their destinations. Local and emergency traffic will be provided access to private property within the sections of closed road at all times but only from the side of the project site upon which the property lies. The only times these properties may not be accessible might be during possible critical stages of construction when it is impractical to carry on construction operations and simultaneously allow local traffic.

Forsse Road from Falun Road to Hedberg Road will be closed May 17th, for the replacement of a drainage structure with a new reinforced concrete box culvert (RCB). The structure is 0.1 mile south of Falun Road and is over an unnamed tributary of West Dry Creek. The work at this site is anticipated to be completed by the middle of June. Of course, completion is dependent on unforeseen conditions such as adverse weather.

Shilo Road, from Lockard Road to Shipton Road will be reopened late Monday May 16th following completion of the replacement of a drainage structure with a new reinforced concrete box culvert (RCB).

Hedville Road, from Schilling Road to Water Well Road will be reopened late Monday May 16th following completion of the replacement of a drainage structure with a new reinforced concrete box culvert (RCB). While weather conditions have unfortunately not been good for farming, they have been good for construction. Consequently, removal of the existing structure through construction of the RCB and reopening of the road required about two weeks.
