Westside Consolidated School District

Update on Highway 91 Closure: The Department of Transportation has informed us that work is still underway to remove the overturned equipment. Highway 91 is expected to reopen around 2:30 p.m. to allow for normal school traffic. However, if the removal is not complete, the road may be closed again. Please drive with caution through the area, as workers and equipment will still be present.

Highway 91 west of I-555 will be closed shortly after 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning so that crews can remove a large crane that overturned near the city limits.
