Starting Monday, May 12, County Route 21 (Canisteo Rathbone Road) will be closed to all traffic passing through for about eight weeks, the release stated. Rose said the closure will allow for essential bridge maintenance over Spalding Hollow, the area between State Route 36 and County Route 30 (Swale Road). An on-site detour will be in place to help drivers navigate around the work zone, Rose emphasized.
