From October 31st through November 2nd, Cooper Road will be closed in both directions near Patterson Road to allow crews to replace a failed drainpipe that is meant to transport runoff water under the roadway. Traffic will be detoured to Weaver and Patterson roads to return to Cooper Road. The alternate dates for this job are November 14th thru 16th.
