Construction is scheduled to begin August 30, 2016, and continue for approximately two weeks. Typical construction hours will be Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 4:00PM.
Due to the nature of this work, changes to traffic patterns and traffic delays are expected. Alden Street at the intersection of Northumberland Street will be reduced to a single lane with alternating traffic flow. Northumberland Street at the intersection of Alden Street will be closed to through traffic. Northumberland Street traffic will be detoured onto Carnavon Circle. Traffic will be managed with posted signs and police details. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible.
