Barricades will be placed on Thomas Road notifying of the closure. The marked detour route will be Kroemer Road/Haeman Road to Leesburg Road to Hillegas Road.

Primco, Inc. is the main contractor for this phase of the project after submitting the low bid of $4.6 million. The multi-phased Bass Road project will eventually bring a variety of improvements to the highway extending from Hillegas Road through Scott Road.
