Polk County Public Works reported a Perrydale realignment tied to a roundabout project will close Perrydale between Dallas and 22 roughly mid-June through mid-September; commissioners raised concerns about detour notice, potential damage to gravel roads and a proposed 150-day detour that exceeds the six-week allowance in the original agreement.
