Depot Street a One-Way Starting Monday

A portion of Depot Street will become a one-way heading easterly starting Monday, assistant town engineer Brian Szczurko said in a prepared statement.

The one-way portion will run from Ferry Street and Maple Avenue to Route 122, Szczurko said.

The move was the result of a sidewalk closing on the Depot Street Bridge. The sidewalk is crumbling and state and town officials determined it posed a potential hazard to pedestrians and motorists.

Two-way traffic will still be allowed between Providence Road and the bridge to minimize commercial vehicle traffic through the residential neighborhoods west of the bridge, he said.
