Police Chief Edward Conley reports that paving projects will lead to road closures and detours and affect parking next week.
From Monday, April 29, to Friday, May 3, work crews will be grinding and paving East Main Street between Highland Street and Hammond Street.
As a result, inbound traffic will be detoured through Mount Pleasant Avenue, to Hammond Street, and then back to East Main Street.
Additionally, from Wednesday, May 1, to Friday, May 3, Western Avenue between Centennial Avenue and Middle Street will be ground and paved on the side toward the water. On Western Avenue, no parking signs will be in place on the westbound side of the avenue, and the double lane will be used for two-way traffic.
Police will be at both sites to help direct traffic, but motorists in the area are advised to expect delays and to seek alternate routes if possible.
