The maintenance work is expected to result in lane closures on the highway along with lane closures with alternating traffic on the ramps to and from Quaker Avenue.

On Monday, Oct. 29, the off-ramp to Quaker Avenue from Route 9W northbound will be closed. Traffic will be detoured to the Willow Avenue exit and direct to the southbound willow Avenue ramp to Route 9W southbound to the Quaker Ave exit.

On Tuesday, Oct. 30, the off-ramp to Quaker Avenue from Route 9W southbound will be closed. Traffic will be detoured at the Willow Avenue exit (north of the Quaker Avenue exit), and directed to turn right on Mill Street (County Route 32) and follow Mill Street to Quaker Avenue.

Motorists should anticipate delays.

Drivers are asked to use caution when traveling through the work zone area and pay close attention to all traffic control devices, including signs and flaggers.

Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
