Work has begun in the area of the railway underpass on West Pleasant Street to repair a retaining wall. This is the area known locally as the subway.
West Pleasant Street is closed at Albion Street to allow completion of this work. Another barricade is in place on West Pleasant at Park Street, but local traffic is able to drive around.
This street closure will remain in effect 24 hours a day until the job is complete this Friday, July 25.
Motorists are advised that this section of West Pleasant Street is accessible via the Park Street end. The sidewalk under the rail bridge will be closed to pedestrians during this work.

Additional work will take place the week of July 28 to replace the drainage grate in the street surface under the overpass.
This same street closure for West Pleasant Street will be required 24 hours a day until that work is complete.
