Construction Updates

The city is planning to close E. Washington St. between Emerson and State starting Monday, August 24, and lasting for approximately 200 days. The Westbound lane will remain open during this time, and the entrance to Shepherd’s driveway will also remain open for the majority of this time. You will have to access Shepherd’s entrance from the East while headed West. 

We will continue to keep you as updated as possible with what we know, so please stay tuned for more information. Also, start to plan on leaving yourself extra time in the morning and afternoons for drop off and pick up from before school, school, and after school programs.
