(Tuesday, May 3, 2011) - Attention motorists, lane reductions are in place on North St. between Gottingen St. and Brunswick St. to allow for on-going water main replacement work. During construction, one lane of traffic will be maintained at all times.

The duration of construction is approximately 3 weeks.

In order to minimize traffic disruptions, work in the Gottingen St. and Brunswick St. intersections will take place on weekends.

The hours of work will be Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Temporary domestic water service lines have been established for homes on North St. within the work zone. Temporary water service will be in place for the duration of construction.

Sidewalk access will be maintained.

Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to ensure smooth traffic flow. On site personnel will also maintain communication with local residents and businesses to help minimize disruption.
Motorists are asked to use alternate routes where possible and to proceed carefully through the work zone. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.

We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure work may cause.
