Many of our families rely on 14600 South for daily school travel, and we want to inform you that long-anticipated construction to repair the bridge is finally beginning. As part of this project, the road under the bridge will be closed starting November 17th. To help the community stay informed, a public meeting will be held at Hidden Valley Middle School on Thursday, November 13th, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
