Motorists should be prepared to stop as they approach the work zone and then get routed through the northbound lane in alternating one-way traffic by flaggers or a temporary traffic signal.
Ludlow: Pleasant Street at the junction of Pleasant Street and Mill Street is closed to all vehicle traffic to facilitate project construction. A detour is in place that routes vehicle traffic from Pleasant Street on Elm Street, Main Street, and Pleasant Street Extension.
