Use 23rd Street entrance for alternate access.<br \/>\u2022 No left turns to South Grand Avenue from 27th Street. Use Midland roundabout to make right turn to South Grand Avenue.<br \/>\u2022 No left turns from South Grand Avenue onto 27th Street. Detour via Buffalo Valley for residential access, use Highway 82 and Eighth Street for access to Midland Avenue.<br \/>\u2022 Right turns only from ANB Bank lot. Use Midland roundabout for access to Highway 82.<\/p>\n<p>According to a press release the changes will remain in effect through mid-September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLots of kids walking to school; a lot of them for the first time.
