4th Line Is Now Open

Mike Cluett

Just a quick note (on my Blackberry Playbook WordPress app) to announce that the temporary road closure at 4th Line near Menefly and Beaty is now open.  Its been awhile to get this work done, but its finally done. 

There will be some road work done in the spring to repair some damage but at least you can go north on 4th Line to Derry Road.

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

I’ll see you at the doors.
