Please continue to watch for roadway closures and delays.  Continue to use patience in these areas as workers are continuing to repair Utilities and Roadway throughout the County.  Minimize as much travel as possible to allow the crews to complete the work as safely and efficiently as possible.  Unnecessary vehicles on the roadway only slows the repair process.
