No more detours

OWASCO - Adrianna Thrasher-Scutt gave directions around the construction on White Bridge so many times in the past 10 months that she can recite them in her sleep.

Thrasher-Scutt, a clerk at the Express Mart on the traffic circle in Fleming, won't be needing to give those directions anymore. White Bridge, which was replaced as part of the Route 437's reconstruction, re-opened Tuesday afternoon.

"We're seeing a lot of customers we haven't seen in a long time," Thrasher-Scutt said. She noted that sales were off during the construction that nearly left the store on a dead end.
