"The work area will be on Elm Street from the railroad tracks to South Main Street. When the detour is in use, traffic will be redirected to South Brewer Drive. This initial detour is expected to end by May 2nd. Please follow the detour signs.

City officials says that there locals will still be allowed to come and go from those areas that are closed to other motorists--but access will set up on the side of the railroad tracks.

"This project will be replacing storm drain in various locations on Pierce Road, constructing a new sidewalk on Pierce from Wilson to Wild Rose Drive, reconstructing the sidewalk on Elm. "
