U.S. 36 East of Watkins Road Scheduled to Close for Week of Utility Work
The city announced a bidirectional closure starting Monday, while state records list an unverified westbound restriction beginning Saturday.
Delaware Avenue, also carrying U.S. Route 36, east of Watkins Road will close in both directions beginning Monday, Nov. 9, as crews install sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer lines, according to a municipal road advisory. The closure is expected to last about a week, with the road scheduled to reopen Monday, Nov. 16.
Separately, state work-zone records schedule a utility permit closure for U.S. 36 between U.S. Route 33 and Mackan Road starting Saturday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 15, according to a state road listing. That U.S. 36 listing applies to westbound traffic, with both its start and end dates designated as unverified.
Passenger vehicles will be detoured along Watkins Road, Hinton Mill Road and Myers Road. Commercial vehicles and trucks will follow a separate route using U.S. Route 33 to northbound U.S. Route 42, then returning to U.S. 36.
The city is asking drivers to allow extra travel time and follow posted detour signs through the area.
