At times, traffic will be detoured, Struzzi said, and signs will guide motorists.
The northbound closure will occur between the Route 837 on-ramp to southbound Route 51 and the Route 51 off-ramp to northbound Route 837. The southbound closure will occur between the Route 837 on-ramp to northbound Route 51 and the Route 51 off-ramp to southbound Route 837.
