Starting Monday, August 5, Kellers Church Road will be closed between Route 611 and Deep Run Road for pipe replacement work, redirecting drivers along Route 611 and Deep Run Road. The same day marks the start of a week-long closure (until August 9) of both Rosedale Road and Paletown Road for similar infrastructure updates. Drivers should follow the posted detour signs.
On Tuesday, August 6, and Wednesday, August 7, Ewing Road will be closed between Route 926 and Route 10, with motorists directed to use both Route 926 and Route 10 during these closures.
