Peter Ratkiewich, Director of Public Works

Public Works Director Peter Ratkiewich announced today that as part of the Riverside Avenue improvement project, traffic patterns will be modified in order to facilitate demolition of the concrete roadway and reconstruction of the pavement.

Beginning Tuesday, November 9, traffic on Riverside Avenue between Bridge Street and Saugatuck Avenue will be restricted to northbound vehicles only.  All southbound traffic will be directed down Saugatuck Avenue to Charles Street.

During paving operations, expected to occur Thursday, November 11 and Friday, November 12,  the road section will be closed to all but local traffic. All other traffic will be detoured around Charles Street and Saugatuck Avenue.

All dates and times are approximate and subject to weather conditions.

Motorists are advised to drive with additional caution, allow extra travel time, and obey all detour and safety signals.
