Roadwork next month at Oakwood Cemetery

Starting on Wednesday, Aug. 1, the city will begin repaving the main road in Oakwood Cemetery. This will limit the roadway access at certain times through Aug. 15 – vehicles will only be able to enter and exit through the east and west side gates. In addition, the priming, asphalt and drying phases will necessitate full road closure, but the cemetery will remain available to pedestrians during this time, who will be able to access the cemetery through the west side gate. The repaving is necessary because of recent utility repairs to the road, such as wastewater improvements for the Oakwood Chapel project and irrigation line repairs.
