The city is giving locals the heads up that roadwork is about to start on a busy West Trail hill.
Beginning Tuesday, May 12, city contractors will be milling and paving various sections on Glover Road.
This work is anticipated to be completed by the end of day Wednesday, May 13.
Traffic Restrictions:
In order to safely and efficiently complete this infrastructure improvement, the road will be restricted to local traffic only.
Police and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
Local Transit – # 41 Binns will run the initial portion of the route up the Gulch then return via the turnaround at Star Grocery to town.
