Buses 201, 128, 146 and 144 will run modified routes, and all area buses may experience delays due to increased traffic. Drivers of special education buses will contact families directly if delays would affect pick up and drop off times for other schools.
Please be patient and allow more time in your morning and evening commutes as we adjust to this road closure.
