Motorists should expect delays in the area of the Memorial Avenue and John Street intersection as work begins to renew the intersection.

Crews will be on site starting the evening of Wednesday, September 4 to set up traffic control measures for the work, which includes rebuilding the traffic signals, replacing underground infrastructure, and minor repairs to sidewalks, curbs, and gutters.

As work proceeds, travel lanes will be reduced at the intersection, and there will be rotating restrictions on turning and through movements.

The westbound lanes of John Street leading from Court Street to Memorial Avenue will be closed at times to allow for work at that leg of the intersection. A detour route will be posted.

The work is expected to continue through the end of October.
