Intersection closing prompts detours in Coventry

COVENTRY -- Station Street where it intersects at Main Street (Route 117) will be closed to traffic tomorrow and at least until the middle of next week during the daytime as a part of a continuing sewer installation project on Main Street.

The $3.2-million project, financed by a loan from the Rhode Island Clean Water Agency, began this fall. It includes installing an extension of a line from a pumping station on Sandy Bottom Road and setting up lateral lines to serve homes and businesses. The sewer work is being handled by D’Ambra Construction in Warwick.

For this stage, the police will detour motorists heading west on Main Street at Knotty Oak Road and then onto Maple Street, to pick up Station Street heading north. Motorists coming east on Main Street will be detoured at South Main Street. Drivers heading south on Station Street will not be allowed to turn at Main Street and are advised to turn sooner.

Normal traffic patterns will be permitted on Station Street during the evening and over the weekend. Daytime road closures at Main Street between Sandy Bottom Road and South Main Street, in effect since Nov. 5, will remain in place until at least Saturday
