ALBION – The state Department of Transportation will close a section of Ingersoll Street for two days next week to allow for milling of paving on a street that has had more wear and tear the past two years due to the closure of the Main Street lift bridge.

An article on Wednesday said the DOT would do one lane at a time and keep traffic open on Ingersoll. But today the DOT said there would be full roadway closure from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for milling on Tuesday and paving on Wednesday.

The closure is limited to 9 a.ml. to 2:30 p.m. to allow for school buses to cross the canal.

 From 9 a.m. to 2:30 traffic will need to use alternate routes to cross the Erie Canal: Butts Road on the east side and Gaines Basin Road on the west side.
