WALNUT STREET ROAD WORK SCHEDULED
FOR MONDAY MORNING

Construction crews will pour curb and gutter along Walnut Street between the US 1/64 ramps and Piney Plains Road Monday morning, September 27, beginning at 9 a.m.  This work will necessitate the closing of one southbound lane between the US 1/64 ramps and Piney Plains Road.  While southbound vehicles may still access the ramps onto US 1/64, only one lane of traffic will be available for southbound vehicles continuing on Walnut Street.  Actions will be taken to minimize traffic disruption, but motorists should still expect to see delays and seek alternate routes. Once complete, Walnut Street will have three dedicated through lanes in the southbound direction from the ramps at US 1/64 to Tryon Road.
