🚧 Construction Reminder 🚧

With multiple construction projects happening throughout town and along Highway 20 and Highway 191, please remember to slow down and stay alert.

Road crews are working hard to improve our community, and that means you may encounter workers near the roadway, changing traffic patterns, reduced speed limits, and increased fines in active construction zones.

Expect delays. Officers are out monitoring these areas to help keep workers, drivers, and pedestrians safe.

The road crews want to go home, you want to go home, and we’d like to go home too. Do your part and slow down.

Let’s make this a memorable Fourth of July for all the right reasons.
