Road closures expected Friday morning for former Carl Junction Fire Chief Bill Dunn's funeral

(From the Carl Junction Police Department)

Friday is retired Fire Chief Bill Dunn's funeral. 

I want to let the residents of the City know there will be some roads shut down tomorrow near 11 a.m. for the procession from OCC to the Carl Junction Cemetery. 

We will be temporarily closing 171 and the following intersections. Fir, Gum, Pennell, Hawthorne and 171 at Ivy. 

The closures in the Carl Junction downtown area is Ivy and Roney, and Grimes and Pennell. 

These closures will be short, but out of respect for Chief Dunn and due to the expected size of the procession, we will be stopping traffic. 

If you need to travel near these times, please take a western route out of town and avoid the area.
