Beginning today (May 9, 2011) sections of East Main Street between US27 and Riley Road will be closed for 6 to 8 weeks.
Contractors are installing a new 24" water main 7 to 9 feet deep in the center of the road. Large construction equipment will be moving in and out along with heavy gauge pipes. Hazardous conditions will exist during operational hours and it is advisable to seek alternative routes.
Traffic closures will start sometime between 7:00 am and 9:00 am in the morning and opening back up between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm.
Local traffic will be maintained to St. Mary, Bishop Brossart and Campbell County Middle School although traffic backups may occur. Arrive early and be patient when leaving.
Attached is a map of the affected area for the next several weeks.
If you are not sure of alternate routes of travel, please contact the Alexandria Police Department assistance.
