A section of Dixie Highway in Shawnee Township will be closed to through traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday for chip-and-seal work. The Allen County Engineer's Office says only local traffic accessing businesses will be allowed through the work zone.
Allen County engineers held their final road meeting today with all township trustees and county commissioners to finalize the 2024 plan. The total cost for all of the road projects came out to just over $2.2 million. That includes a little more than 9 miles of paving and 57 miles of chip sealing, but because of inflation, those numbers are 30% less than last year.
It's now preservation over maintenance when it comes to repairing county roads.
The Allen County Engineer's Office wants to remind motorists that their department is in full swing repairing area roadways.
