The Edwardsville School District will not be in session on Friday, October 11. The closure will allow Public Works crews to perform needed patching in that area of East Franklin Avenue. While the closure is in place, the roadwork may be extended a bit farther east on East Franklin toward Circle Drive, as time allows.
The work is anticipated to get underway early Thursday. Barring unforeseen delays, the road will reopen by the end of the day Friday, October 11.
