Beginning Monday, Feb. 1, the City of Danville will close both lanes of Newton Street between Craghead and Lynn streets to allow a contract crew to install electric distribution and communications conduits.
The lane closures will be in place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Thursday, Feb. 4. The street block will be re-opened each day at 5 p.m.
Detour signs will be in place to redirect traffic. Motorists are urged to slow down when approaching this area and be alert to altered traffic patterns or consider an alternate route.
The installation of the conduits is part of a Danville Utilities project to move electrical and communication lines underground in the River District. Warrco Construction is the contractor.
