Collins Road was originally scheduled to be paved on Thursday, July 28, however it was rescheduled for today, July 29.

The Town has made the decision to completely shut Collins Road down until paving is complete due to unsafe speeds becoming a safety hazard for construction crews. Detour signage is still in place.
