BEDFORD — The first stage of road improvements on Leatherwood Road is complete, but local drivers should prepare for another temporary closure tomorrow.
Lawrence County Highway Department Superintendent Brian D. Sowder announced that crews successfully finished replacing the first of two planned culverts on Leatherwood Road. As of Tuesday afternoon, the road has reopened to traffic.
However, work will resume early Wednesday morning, October 28, to replace the second culvert.
According to the Highway Department, construction will begin at approximately 8:00 a.m. Leatherwood Road will be closed to through traffic during the project and is expected to reopen later Wednesday afternoon once installation is complete.
Drivers traveling through the area are advised to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time during the morning and early afternoon hours.
