Niles Road, from McReynolds Road to K-4 Highway, will be closed to through traffic beginning August 13th to permit a Saline County Road and Bridge Department crew to replace an existing, deteriorated wooden box cross road drainage structure with a new corrugated metal culvert pipe. The site is located on Niles Road, approximately 0.2 mile north of K-4 Highway. Work is projected to be completed by the end of Friday, August 14th. 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.
