The westbound lane of Freedom Road will be closed for 24 hours beginning at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, between Haine School Road and Commonwealth Drive for paving, drainage, and signal work, according to the state Department of Transportation.

Eastbound traffic will remain open, with signs and flagging as needed. For the westbound detour, traffic will use eastbound Freedom Road to Route 19 north, to Rochester Road, to Powell Road, to Freedom Road.

The project is an extension of the Freedom Road project, which includes new highway and turning lanes, widening, paving, drainage, signal upgrade/replacement, lighting work, highway realignment, safety improvements and sidewalks.

The $9.8 million project is estimated to be completed in fall of this year.
