Two local road projects pushed back, again.

RED BANK/ROSSVILLE (WDEF) – Two local road projects have been pushed back, one for a few weeks, the other for months.

The city of Red Bank is once again delaying the completion of the Ashland Terrace road project.

Crews are working on the crumbling culvert over the creek as the road meets Dayton Boulevard.

It was originally scheduled to be finished in early December, then push back a week or two.

Now the new completion date is January 4th.

The city blames more rain and cold temperatures, along with holiday schedules.
