Groton Avenue
Updates for 7/1
There will be multiple projects happening throughout the week -

​
Project No 3
Reconstruction of the western portion of the Groton Ave parking lot continues. The eastern portion is paved and striped and can be utilized.
​
Motorists are reminded to use the signed Groton Ave detour route. Please note: Road Closed Signs mean there is an active work zone ahead and there is risk to drivers and workers. Local Traffic Only signs mean that drivers are accessing business and addresses in the immediate work zone. Do not use Groton Ave to bypass the signed detour route. This is dangerous for workers and motorists alike.
