Construction Update September 20, 2019

Traffic has been moved to the north side of King Street between Westminster Drive and Dover Street. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained during construction. For safety reasons, on-street parking on King Street will not be permitted within the construction zone.

A person has been stationed at Westminster Drive to provide pedestrian help while crossing King Street during the commute to school in the morning and from school in the afternoon. Help with crossing at this intersection will be available until the new traffic signals are operational.
