According to information from the Road and Bridge Department, Watkins Road between Reese Road and Link Road will be closed to thru traffic beginning Friday to replace a cross-road structure located 300 feet east of Reese Road.  


The work should be completed by the end of January 2020, weather permitting.


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 half mile side upon which the property lies.
