The city of Covington would like to make citizens aware that Edgemont Drive will continue to be closed 24 hours a day, to through traffic, until tentatively Friday, Dec. 11, weather permitting, for completion of the road stabilization project. 
Alternative routes avoiding Edgemont Drive should be utilized during this period. The neighborhood thoroughfares are not intended to be a detour, due to larger and commercial traffic not being able to clear the different areas.
