Cross drain replacement in Muhlenberg County this week Officials say these temporary closures will be located between Hayden Drive at the 2.95 mile marker and Ralph Avenue at the 3.65 mile marker, but will not run the length of the project. The contractor plans to block the lane section by section as they advance from Hayden to Ralph. The new storm drain is being installed to handle storm water runoff for the new median that will be installed near the end of the project.
