Motorists traveling along East Main Street will be detoured along East Adams Street via South Georgia and South Neal streets, the release said. Traffic will be detoured along Elm and North Russell streets for temporary closures at North Union and Parkview streets and at the low-water bridge on West Mary Street. All other areas will be restricted to one-lane traffic between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. while work is being performed. Signs will be posted and flaggers will be onsite as required.
