Periodic Traffic Pattern Change on Main Street near Front Street through March 21There are periodic lane shifts for both lanes of traffic on Main Street near the Front Street intersection now through March 21. This is necessary to safely accommodate large construction equipment for a commercial development construction project near this intersection. Both lanes of traffic are shifting east, which will affect several parking spots along Main Street. This may cause temporary traffic delays, and drivers may want to consider an alternate route. Please use caution when driving in this area. |
