Construction Detours

Detours

While most of the U.S. 301 project will be constructed on new alignment, some short-term and long-term land and roadway closures on existing roadways will be needed. Roadway closures are needed for bridge construction, hauling operations and other construction activities. Signed detour routes will be provided for all roadway closures, guiding motorists onto alternative routes to reach their destinations.

Short-term roadway closures are expected along the following roadways:

  • S.R. 1 at the US 301 flyover
  • US 13 between Port Pen Road and Hyetts Corner Road
  • Summit Bridge Road at the new U.S. 301 overpass
  • Boyds Corner Road at the new U.S. 301 overpass
  • Port Penn Road left turn lane onto southbound U.S. 13
  • Warwick Road at the intersection with existing U.S. 301
  • Armstrong Corner Road at the new U.S. 301 overpass
  • Marl Pit Road between existing U.S. 301 and the Railroad crossing

Long-term roadway closures are expected along the following roadways, with target durations:

  • Hyetts Corner Road at the new U.S. 301 underpass (36 months)
  • Airmont Drive just north of Hyetts Corner Road, south of Oak Drive (36 months)
  • Strawberry Lane at the new U.S. 301 underpass (12 months)
  • Middleneck Road at the intersection with existing U.S. 301 (11 months)
