Franklin announces temporary street closures – Maple Street continuing into early June

The Town of Franklin Water/Sewer Division will have temporary road closures at varying times throughout April and May, potentially lasting until early June. The road closures will be on West Palmer Street in front of the Franklin Fire Department and on Maple Street to improve an existing sewer line. There will be signage in place for the closure area and detours.  “The project has been delayed due to inclement weather and supply chain issues, but construction is continuing,” said Town Manager Amie Owens.

The closure will be a hard closure from a point at the intersection of Commerce Street and West Palmer Street to include both lanes and continue to Maple Street. There will be signage in place on both ends of the closure to alert traffic of alternate detours on the days when work occurs.

Information will be shared via social media on the Police and Fire Department pages and will be updated on the town’s website as information is made available.
