MARCY STREET CLOSED BETWEEN SOUTH ST. AND NEW CASTLE AVE. – One-way, alternating traffic for road work and repaving on Pleasant Street between South St. and New Castle Ave., starting  Mon May 16, as crews begin removing the existing pavement and roadbed of Marcy St from New Castle Avenue to South St.  Once Marcy Street’s roadbed is replaced, crews will start working on the portion of New Castle Avenue from South St to Marcy St. as this area of New Castle Avenue is getting the pavement and roadbed replaced as well.  Detours will be in place during working hours (7am-7pm) as some portions of the roads are insufficiently wide to maintain through traffic.
