Notice of Increased Truck Traffic on Bemis Road
(Posted August 21, 2026)

In an effort to be communicative and transparent, the Authority would like to inform our neighbors on Bemis Road that beginning next week, August 24, 2026, there will be a temporary increase in the volume of truck traffic coming into the Authority. This increased traffic will be temporary, lasting a day or two, as vendors bring in materials for a project that is due to start soon. The traffic will only be during the working hours of 7am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday.

As always, the Authority is requiring that the contractor travel slowly and safely down our roadways.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

Thank you for your patience!
