Officials report low pressure for residents during a safety closure of Route 152.

Overview

  • Crews closed both directions of South Main Street (Route 152) to evaluate the road’s structural integrity and carry out repairs.
  • Drivers are being detoured between Thurber Avenue and Locust Street, according to Fire Chief Scott Lachance.
