Road work continuing in Butler tomorrow

Monday, June 2nd

BEGINNING AT 7:00 A.M:

1. Overbrook Dr.

2. S. Courtney Dr

3. S. Wells St (E Lake Rd to E Fort Scott St)

4. E Fort Scott St (S Broadway St. to S Wells St)

As part of ongoing street improvements, your road will be temporarily closed on Monday for asphalt placement.

Important Details:

Tack oil application will begin at 7:00 AM. Please note:

Tack oil can splash onto vehicles and stain concrete driveways.

Avoid driving or walking on the surface once oil has been applied.

Asphalt placement will follow.

It is difficult to predict the exact time work will occur directly in front of your home or business.

Road Closed signs will be in place during the work and will be removed once the asphalt has cured and the road is safe for travel.

Please take the following precautions:

Turn off sprinkler systems the night before.

Move vehicles off the street before 7:00 AM to avoid damage and delays.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Weather delays have impacted the construction schedule.

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve your neighborhood streets.
