Franklin County recently sold five of their old dump trucks at auction and came away with over $81,000. They decided to use the money for eight crucial road repairs. One of those is going to affect travel in west Ottawa today. County Public Works Director Jeff Welton told commissioners. Eisenhower Road will be closed mid-morning today from 7th to 13th Streets so Killough construction can make repairs. Public Works Director Jeff Welton discussed the project with Commissioner Colt Waymire:

If you use Eisenhower on your daily commute, you’ll need to take an alternate route.
