I am happy to announce that the end of the detour is in sight! East Franklin St will open to traffic Friday! T&D Dirt Services is putting the finish coat of asphalt down today. We need to give the asphalt a couple days to set up before we open it to traffic. MDOT will be putting stripping and lines down soon.
