Traffic Changes for street construction on Virginia Avenue

 

 

The City of Cumberland announces the following changes in traffic patterns due to the street construction for the “Virginia Avenue Corridor Improvement Project”.

 

On or about Monday April 12, 2010 the following changes to traffic will occur:

 

·         Virginia Avenue from Oldtown Road to the Industrial Boulevard will become one-way in the southbound direction (from Oldtown Road to the Industrial Boulevard).

·         Northbound traffic will be detoured from the intersection of Virginia Avenue with the Industrial Boulevard northbound on Industrial Boulevard to Lamont Street, and west on Lamont Street to the Oldtown Road Maryland Avenue intersection.

 

These changes will remain in effect for the duration of this project.

 

Also during the project parking changes will occur. During construction parking will be prohibited in the immediate area of construction (or to allow for lane shifts), but angle parking will be used in other sections of Virginia Avenue, within the project limits, to maintain the amount of available parking.

 

Please slow down, stay alert, pay attention to the warning signs and new or changed traffic signs, and obey the road crew flaggers. During construction motorists can expect delays, lane closures, and detours.
