DERBY — The following information is from Mayor Rich Dziekan:
This Wednesday (Oct. 25), the traffic switchover for the Rt 34 widening project will take place.
The traffic will be re-routed from the westbound lane of the existing road to the newly constructed eastbound lane. This is scheduled to occur around midday. Significant delays can be expected on Rt. 34 on Wednesday. Please do your best to avoid the area if at all possible.
In addition to the switchover, as part of the final design plans, Minerva St from Route 34 to 3rd Street will become one-way up from Route 34 and Elizabeth St. will become one-way down to Route 34 from 3rd Street.
Signs will be posted to alert motorists to these permanent changes moving forward. Road work will also begin on Minerva and Elizabeth Streets for the relocation of utilities as part of the switchover.
