The Dept of Public Works asked me to warn readers about construction on expected to take place on a large section of Route 85 most of the day tomorrow and Monday.

The work will take place on Cordaville Road between the intersections at Mt. Vickery Road and Richards Road.

The DPW writes: 

Although the Road will be open to traffic, drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes as delays are expected.

Milling work is scheduled to be conducted from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, tomorrow, November 4th.

If weather cooperates, paving will take place during the same window this Monday, November 9th.
