Traffic will be detoured to Karey Court and Greenleaf Avenue from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Monday, June 24 till no later than Friday, June 28, weather permitting.

No street parking will be allowed on the detour route between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. to accommodate larger vehicles.

The detour will be posted with construction signs and message boards.
Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be maintained on both the east and west sidewalks of Locust Road.
