Oxford drivers are reminded to pack a little patience as they maneuver around a downtown detour that will be in place in the upcoming weeks.
According to information from City of Oxford Communications Specialist Sabrina Richards, H.G. Reynolds Co. will be installing sewer lines along a portion of Hillsboro Street, making a detour necessary.
The work will be conducted from Lewis Street to MLK/ Broad Street. There will be barricades at Lewis/West Spring Street, Orange Street, Granville Street, Hillsboro/Broad Street and then in one lane at Hillsboro/ West Spring Street to block traffic headed into town.
The detour will only be up during working hours from Monday through Thursday, stretching into Fridays if inclement weather delays work.
The barricades will be removed at the end of each workday for two-way traffic to resume.
There was no word on how long the detour will be in place or how long this part of the sewer line installation will take.
