Red House Road Traffic Detour for Waterline Installation

The portion of Red House Road between Church Street and Hunter Street is closed to thru traffic for waterline installation for the next several weeks.

Follow Dogwood Street to Evergreen Avenue.

This is probably the easiest route if you need to get to the high school.
