The Daviess County Commissioners spent time Monday discussing problems caused by drivers not obeying restrictions and substitute routes for the Odon-Cannelburg Road project. The road construction work is unnecessarily increasing traffic and dust on adjoining gravel roads. As a safety measure, and to protect some businesses from the dust, the Highway Department will provide dust control in those designated areas at a cost of about $50,000. Some roads will need to be improved before the dust control is administered.
