Flaggers and uniformed traffic officers (UTOs) will be present to assist motorists through the work zone. Motorists are encouraged to use caution while traveling throughout the work zone.

Ludlow: The removal of Bridge 57 and the installation of a pedestrian bridge is underway on Mill Street. Pleasant Street at its junction with Mill Street is closed to all vehicle traffic. A detour routes vehicles from Pleasant Street along Elm Street, Main Street, to Pleasant Street Extension.
