Important traffic information
With the resurfacing project on state Route 515 from Walnut Creek north to U.S, Route Route 62, a spokesman for Timbercrest recommends visitors enter from the north on state Route 515 (from the Winesburg area) as the scheduled paving will have the state route closed from the south.
“From what I heard, they will be closing the road completely from Walnut Creek up to the Erb’s Tarp Shop,” said Christina Hershberger. “We’re planning on having everyone come in from the north. We have been notifying all of our guests and we have some large signs for detours posted as well. The construction company is aware of our event and knows there will be quite a few cars coming through.”
