AMHERST — Traffic detours are in place Tuesday until 4 p.m. on College Street, between Shumway and South Whitney streets, as Eversource installs switchgear at its substation

Trucks are advised to use Main Street as a detour route.

Additional detours are happening Thursday and Friday on West Street between Pomeroy Lane and East Hadley Road as a microsurfacing layer is placed over the chip seal by crews with Indus, Inc.

Both days, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., residents who live on that stretch of Route 116 will have to travel south toward Pomeroy Lane, and then be redirected at the roundabout at Pomeroy and West Pomeroy lanes.

All vehicles traveling north will be rerouted via Pomeroy Lane to South East Street, or West Pomeroy lane to South Maple Street in Hadley. Large trucks are advised to take the Hadley route due to the low bridges on South East Street.

On street parking will be prohibited.
