The City of Hagerstown is warning motorists they may encounter traffic delays in the city due to construction projects scheduled to start next week and the continuation of work on the Maryland Highway Administration's U.S. 40 Streetscape project.
Jonathan Street and Prospect Street will be closed to through traffic from West Franklin Street due to the Streetscape work, the city said in a news release. The state contractor will be completing sidewalks and continuing storm water pipe installation and will start excavating for brick sidewalks.
There will be lane shifts and closures from Jonathan Street to Walnut Street on Franklin Street, the city said.
Additionally, there may be some traffic delays as Callas Contractors removes sidewalks in the first block of West Washington Street near the County Commuter bus stop, the city said. Work on the project is expected to occur from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
