_________________________________________

CLOSED ROAD- a culvert will be replaced tomorrow, Tuesday August 9, 2016 on Aure Rd NW (Co Rd 24) starting at 7 AM which will result in a closure of that portion of the road. The culvert is located approximately 1 mile west of Hwy 89 where the river runs south of Fawn Lake.

The detour for this will be north of Aure Rd NW on Hwy 89 to Sweet Sap Rd NW (Co Rd 602) and then west to Red Maple Rd NW (also Co Rd 602) which ends at a T intersection on Aure Rd NW (west of the culvert project). The project will be complete by 6 PM Tuesday night and the road will reopen at that time.

Tentatively planned, depending on weather, is a culvert replacement on Aure Rd NW (Co Rd 24) approximately 1.5 miles west of Hwy 89 which will result in another closure on Wednesday August 10. However, if it rains as predicted this will be postponed until later in the week and we will send notice of the date. The same detour will apply.
