The water main replacement and associated work in this area will continue for approximately four months. Construction activity will be seen on Hamilton Ave., between East Patrick St. and East South St. through July 2006.

Traffic control devices such as traffic cones, signs and arrow boards will be used to limit traffic to one lane during the hours of 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Temporary traffic detours will be installed on a daily basis, as needed, from 6:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. During these temporary detours, only local traffic will be permitted on the Hamilton Avenue, between East Patrick Street and East South Street.
