These repairs will cause various lane closures along Laurel Avenue for approximately two months. As of Monday, April 18th, Laurel Ave. is completely closed. Detours (directing residents to Holland Rd. to Church St. to New Monmouth Rd. to Rt. 35) have been put in place, but we encourage residents to plan alternate routes. Officers are also present to help regulate traffic.
