Rollingstone Drive will see a full CLOSURE to thru traffic running till the evening of Friday, September 29th between Anglers Drive and Pine Grove Road. US Highway 40 should be used as an alternative way to connect between Pine Grove Road and Anglers Drive during this time.

The project is installing a water meter vault as well as a new 10-inch water main along Rollingstone Road, which will connect the water main in Pine Grove to the main in Anglers and enhance the water supply in this area and reinforce the water system grid.

While the road closure is for the short term, the project is expect to be completed over the coming month.

Due to the complicated nature of this section, Oak Street between 11^th to 12^th Streets remains CLOSED for approximately a month. 

During the closure, detours are in place from Native Excavating assisting individuals looking to access westbound or eastbound US40/Lincoln Avenue. Westbound access is recommend via 12^th Street. While eastbound drivers should use Pine or Crawford to 11^th Street taking advantage of the signal for a left turn onto Lincoln Ave.

With only local traffic access in this section, work during this period will include storm sewer installation, curb and gutter, 8-foot sidewalk and handicap ramps at each corner.
