SALISBURY, Md. — City officials in Salisbury have announced plans to shut down a portion of Queen Avenue on Thursday as crews work to upgrade the municipal water distribution network.
The closure is set for May 14, 2026, running from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., weather and conditions permitting.
Construction crews will block the stretch of Queen Avenue between Sassafras Drive and West Road. Both directions of travel will be impacted during the project, with workers implementing alternating single-lane traffic during peak afternoon school bus hours.
City officials say alternative routes will be established with appropriate signage to guide drivers around the construction zone. Flagging crews will be stationed at the work site to manage traffic flow.
Officials are asking drivers to allow extra travel time, anticipate potential delays, and exercise caution when navigating through the construction area.
City representatives expressed gratitude for residents’ understanding and patience as teams work to enhance essential infrastructure systems across Salisbury.
