Motorists in Pembroke can expect road closures and traffic disruptions later this month as construction work gets underway on parts of Nelson and Howard streets.
The City of Pembroke says Nelson Street and Howard Street between Belmont Street and Pembroke Street East will be closed to regular traffic from 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 26th until 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 29th.
The city says the closure is needed to allow for road construction work in the area. Emergency vehicles and local traffic will still be permitted through the construction zone, while detours will be posted for other drivers.
Officials are asking motorists to obey all posted construction signage and expect delays. Drivers are also being encouraged to use alternate routes whenever possible.
The city notes businesses located within the construction and detour areas will remain open throughout the project.
Pembroke officials thanked residents and motorists for their patience as infrastructure improvements continue.
