As construction of the new Main Street bridge progresses, there will be new closures on Central Ave. starting as early as next week.
Central Ave. will be reduced to two lanes of traffic (one lane each direction), and traffic will be shifted to the north side of Central to allow the southern half of Central to be closed.
During these closures, the traffic signals will be taken out of operation, and a stop sign will be installed on Main St. The two lanes on Central Ave. will not have stop signs and will be free-flow traffic.
Traffic turning onto Central Ave. from Main St. will be required to stop or yield to traffic on Central Ave. These changes will remain in place until the bridge construction is completed.
While we recognize that this may cause traffic delays, it is necessary for the safety of construction crews and the traveling public.
