Franklin Avenue, which is currently closed between Forrest Drive and Reservoir Road saw more closures between Forrest Drive and the Taylor Road intersection shortly before Monday's 5 o'clock rush hour. The portions of the road which were already under construction saw multiple potholes appear and water build up throughout the afternoon as construction crews attempted to keep the roads under control.
