Access to businesses maintained during closure of Barr, Duck intersection

The intersection of Duck and Barr Streets will be closed for sewer repair work but customers should have no problem getting to area businesses. During the construction, Barr and Duck street will be closed to motorists but visitors will always have access to the four businesses in the immediate area, including: Don Hall's Gas House, Takaoka of Japan, Club Soda, and the Headwaters Park.

Work is underway on the repair of a 42” combined sewer pipe near the intersection of Duck and Barr Street. Crews are working to repair the brick pipe which collapsed earlier this year.

The pipe is used when it rains to transport overflow to the nearby St. Marys River. Temporary pumping systems were set up to relieve the situation during rain events until the repair work could be scheduled and completed.

The repairs are estimated to take approximately six weeks to complete.
