ANNA – Cory Eisenhardt has enjoyed growing his business, although the extra time needed to manage the operation has limited the time he gets to spend doing what he loves most – framing houses.
Eisenhardt, the owner of Eisenhardt Homes, has seen his business take off in the past year. He’s in the process of building four houses and has four more homes and two additions awaiting start dates.
Construction of the county s third roundabout, in Summit Township, might be delayed.
And until construction in Springfield begins, drivers once again are blazing new trails to work and to school in Albion about six miles to the south.
Back roads are taking a beating
The latest detours aren t costing drivers much additional time, but they are taking a toll on local roads. We re tearing some of these roads up. We re beating them to death, said Glen Black, Northwestern School District s bus garage manager. They were not intended for a lot of traffic.
Six of the district s 24 bus routes have been re-routed because of the demise of the Route 215 bridge. Most buses on those routes now are using the McKee Road bridge over the interstate about 1½ miles to the west. They re also driving Stoker Road between Route 215 and McKee.
