SYRACUSE — Due to the closure of SR 13 from the south edge of Syracuse to CR 650E, Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation will be cancelling it’s Wetland Adventure at noon today, Tuesday, June 24.

The closure is due to deteriorating conditions on SR 13. A recent chip and seal project on SR 13 did not have enough time to cure before the area experienced 100 degree heat on Saturday, June 21. The extreme heat cause the gravel to sink and the oil to rise to the top. The current condition can damage vehicles while making driving conditions hazardous with the oil making the road surface very slick.
