A construction project near Coops Creek on Hwy 127/ Rankin Ave in Dunlap includes improvements for stormwater drainage. Part of these improvements require a large storm drainage inlet basin to be placed alongside the roadway. This construction will require the southbound lane of Hwy 127 / Rankin Ave to be closed at the worksite.

Construction work is expected to begin on Monday, January 8th. The construction requiring closure of the southbound lane will be conducted between 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Only one lane will be available for traffic during this time, and temporary traffic lights will be in operation. North and southbound lanes will remain open for two-way daily traffic from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This construction is expected to be completed within 3 to 5 days. Drivers may use either Main Street or Elm Street to avoid the construction area and lane closures.

Motorists should use caution when traveling through the work site.
