The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency, Monday, said road construction projects in rural areas of the County require the temporary closure of two roads. 2300th Street, about 300-feet east of the intersection of 2300th and Juniper Road, is now closed for a pipe repair/replacement project.

The closure is located in the 1100 block of 2300th Street, between Union Township Sections 11-14. The road should remain closed for about one week.

And, a bridge replacement project on Juniper Road will require the road to be closed, beginning Monday, July 18th, and lasting for about 10 weeks. The bridge is over Lyons Creek in the 1700 block of Juniper Road, just north of 1725 Juniper, between Westphalia Township Sections 10-11.

Area residents and emergency response personnel will want to plan for alternate routes to reach homes or property in the affected areas.
