A new overnight detour will close South Walpole Street in both directions this weekend as crews pour bridge substructure concrete, while a Bay Road detour already underway continues through mid-September.

TOWN HALL

The Town of Sharon announced a full detour in both directions of the South Walpole Street work zone beginning Sunday, Aug. 30 at 8 p.m. and running until 5 a.m. Monday, so crews can place bridge substructure concrete.
