The owner of a downtown Cochrane antique china shop has closed her store temporarily to prevent merchandise from falling off shelves and breaking due to roadwork. Vibrations from the machinery used by road crews have caused nearly $10,000 worth of damage. The owner plans to re-open once construction is finished and there's no longer a risk of tableware falling on customers.
