Parts of Division street will be closed starting Monday

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - Starting Monday, January 23, a section of division street will be closed for up to three weeks.

From 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, Division Street will be closed from Blizzard Drive to the Division Street Extension.

In a statement from Wood County Schools, it says this closure will impact traffic for four local schools: Franklin Elementary Center, Parkersburg South High School, Wood County Technical Center, and Gihon Elementary School.

Families are advised to take alternate routes that do not involve Division Street.

Buses 201, 128, 146, and 144 will run modified routes, and all area buses may experience delays due to increased traffic.

Drivers of special education buses will contact families directly if delays would affect pick-up and drop-off times for other schools.
