We were contacted and asked to share the areas that these contractors will be mowing in hopes to help the community plan their travel. He plans on letting us know daily as long as they are mowing.

The message received:

We plan to head down to Chapel Brown Area and work back from the County Line on Rt 119. 961,962,963, 119/13, 901/59, 83/3

We are contractors for the WV DOH, we will have traffic signs out on the roads we are mowing. We will be mowing in the DOH Right Of Way, we will be video taping the routes before and after each road to ensure good service quality to the DOH and Community. The WV DOH expects my team to cut any grass, brush or small tree’s and or limbs that cause danger to the commuting traffic. We have instructed our team to be courteous to the community. We apologize for any delays this may causes and we ask for everyone to try a stay 200 ft back from the mowers so that they are not hit with flying debris.
