OCTOBER 1-5: S.R. 321 will be closed at three separate locations for a series of culvert replacement projects. Beginning Monday, October 1, and continuing through Wednesday, October 3, the route will be closed between S.R. 134 at Buford and C.R. 2 (Gath Road) for crews to replace two culverts. Then, on Thursday and Friday, October 4-5, the route will be closed between C.R. 61 (Wildcat Road) and T.R. 343A (Mills Lane), just east of Mowrystown, for a two-day project. During periods of closure, motorists will be detoured via S.R. 134, S.R. 32 and U.S. 62.

S.R. 73 is open to traffic at its intersection with C.R. 5 (Prospect Road), where it has been closed as part of a realignment/widening project on Prospect Road. Although the route is open, it will be subject to intermittent lane restrictions; however, traffic will be maintained by flaggers. In addition, restrictions and closures on Prospect Road remain in effect, and traffic is being detoured locally. The completion date for the entire project is summer of 2019. (#17-0553)

S.R. 73 has been reopened to two lanes of traffic between T.R. 277A (Diven Road) and T.R. 276B (W. Welcome Road) following a bridge replacement project.
