Friday, August 14th, in the evening until Sunday, August 16th, evening, the Harrison County Sheriff's Department will be shutting down Research Blvd in coordination with the Harrison County Highway Department and Harrison County EMA in Lanesville for Emergency Vehicle Operations Training. During this time, the roadway will be completely shut down to all traffic. The detour to this will be on Lanesville Rd NE, just north of Research Blvd. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause over the weekend and we are committed to providing excellent Law Enforcement Service for our community through this training. Thanks to our partners, the Harrison County Highway Department and Harrison County EMA, for helping make this training possible.
