Danger: Snake Creek Road remains closed, water over bridge ACJE Cowan is asking that the barricade signs be left in place for the protection and safety of citizens. Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan would like to remind the residents of Adair County that Snake Creek Road is still closed to through traffic due to water remaining high, covering the Snake Creek Road Bridge. Signs have been posted on multiple occasions and are being taken down repeatedly. I am asking that people please leave the barricade signs in place for the protection and safety of our citizens. This is not only causing a danger to our citizens, but also costing the tax payers of Adair County in overtime pay when our road department is being called out all hours of the night to put the signs back up. 2019-03-13 15:14:01 | Comments | Printable version
