⚠️⚠️ 6:30AM UPDATE⚠️⚠️
DPW completed the repair at approximately 3AM this morning. Traffic has resumed in its normal fashion however use caution in the area due to the repair and the road currently not being paved.

⚠️⚠️ 3:00PM UPDATE⚠️⚠️
Unfortunately DPW is having to close the turning lane on N Main St that allows you to go east on Woodstock Ave. The detour to get back to Woodstock Ave will be Terrill St to East St. Southbound traffic on N Main St is still flowing normally. Northbound traffic is still proceeding through the intersection however is merging down to one lane prior to the Woodstock Ave/N Main St intersection. Once again, if you can avoid this area please do so, but if you have to go through this area, especially northbound, please use extreme caution and obey all lane closures.

⚠️⚠️ 2:30PM UPDATE⚠️⚠️
Woodstock Avenue heading westbound is now closed at both the Bellevue Ave intersection as well as the East St intersection due to the water main break at Woodstock and N Main. For those looking to travel north on North Main from Woodstock Ave, you will have to travel down Bellevue Ave to Temple St and pickup of N Main from there. For those looking to travel south on Main St, you will have to go down East St and take either E. Center St or E. Washington St to easily access southbound traffic on S Main St. Be advised that the righthand turn lane from N Main St to head east on Woodstock Ave may also have to be shut down depending on the area the needs to be excavated by DPW. If that does happen, we will update this post once again.

⚠️⚠️TRAFFIC ADVISORY⚠️⚠️

Please avoid the area of North Main St and Woodstock Ave. There is a water main break in the intersection that is going to significantly impact traffic that is heading northbound on N Main St as well as traffic that is attempting to head south off of Woodstock Ave. DPW is assembling crews to address the problem and we ask that you find alternate routes at this time, and we will update this post when the flow of traffic returns to normal.
