On Fountain Street/Dudley Road: One lane alternating traffic pattern will be in place Sunday through Thursday from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. as crews make utility improvements.

Indian Head Heights: Expect moderate delays as crews continue to make utility improvements between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Police detail officers will be on site as needed.

Lockland Avenue: One lane alternating traffic plan will be in place as Eversource replaces gas main and services from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Union Avenue: Northbound travel (heading toward Route 9) will be permitted through the work zone; southbound traffic will be detoured down Franklin Street and onto Melrose Street to reconnect with Union Avenue.

The City requests that motorists do not cut through residential side streets or parking lots to circumvent the detour; that type of activity can create traffic issues and unsafe situations for pedestrians.
