Road Closure

Beginning September 25, North Pleasant Drive will be closed from E. Martin to E. Taggart for approximately 10 days. The closure will allow for sheet piling installation and excavation of contaminated soil under the road. Trucks that currently use N. Pleasant for off site shipments will be re-routed to E. Martin to the James St. crossing. Area residents will notice increased truck traffic along the temporary route. The road will be restored once the work is completed.
