Part of S. Donmyer Road in far southeastern Saline County is scheduled to be closed beginning Tuesday for drainage work.
According to information from the Saline County Road and Bridge Department, S. Donmyer Road between E. Lapsley Road and E. Hobbs Creek Road will be closed Tuesday through Oct. 21 while crews replace a drainage structure.
The department advises motorists in that area to allow a few extra minutes of travel time to reach their destinations. Local and emergency traffic will have access to private property within the closure area from the side upon which the property lies.
"The Road and Bridge Department understands the public’s frustration and inconvenience with closing a road. However, road closures are necessary to maintain the county’s infrastructure so that Saline County can have a reliable road network," the department noted in a news release.
Additionally, the department also reminds motorists that "driving around road closure barricades is not just unlawful but extremely unsafe. For your safety and the safety of the construction workers, please obey all traffic signs."
