HADLEY — Route 9 in Hadley between East and West streets will be temporarily restricted to one lane of travel in each direction for much of Wednesday while construction crews pave the road.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said Tuesday that the restricted travel lanes will be in place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The paving operations are part of the roadway reconstruction project at the intersection of Russell (Route 9) and Middle (Route 47) streets.
Signs will advise travelers of the temporary lane closures.
MassDOT encourages drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to minimize delays. Those traveling through the area should expect delays, reduce speed and use caution.
