Valley-Cummings Street Closure
Valley-Cummings Street Closure
Contractors will be removing a tree on Cummings Street near
the intersection of Cummings and Valley Streets on Wednesday, August 28,
2019. The work will begin at approximately 8:45 AM and will conclude by
3:30 PM. To accommodate the removal of the tree, the contractor has been
granted permission to close the right turn lane on Valley Street, west of the
Cummings Street intersection. In addition, the contractor will close the
outside southbound lane of Cummings Street, north of the intersection of Plumb
Alley (see graphic). Please be mindful of this lane restriction and watch
for contractors removing the tree. Traffic may be held periodically to
allow for different portions of the tree to be removed from the power lines.
We encourage you to avoid Valley Street, eastbound, between
Russell Road and Cummings Street. If possible, please use Main Street as
an alternate route.
