The increased risk to public safety presented by the volume of heavy equipment required to complete construction projects along Charles Bell Road will cause the road to be closed during the day. The Montgomery County Highway Department appreciates the cooperation and understanding of all residents and commuters during this period. 

Special Provisions

Designated required construction vehicles, residents, couriers, and delivery traffic: permitted access during the closure times (8:30am to 4:00pm). Proper identification and proof of delivery will be required. 

Emergency services will have access at all times.  

The Montgomery County Highway Department urges the public to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time to avoid inconvenience. Updates on changes to the schedule will be posted on the Montgomery County Highway Department’s web page and social media channels.
