Will Relocate Route 31 Near Logan to Avoid Flood Interruptions
Logan May 23. Plans to relocate a portion of Route 31 to establish a new grade aim to prevent flood pauses along the highway.

The work starts 300 feet north of the Fairfield County line and extends 900 feet south of Rockview station with brick pavement planned. Specifications are 95 percent complete and will be ready for the next State Highway Department setting. Flood interruptions will end once the new section is finished.
