Beginning at 6 p.m. Route 10 eastbound will be closed, and at 8 p.m. Route 10 westbound will be closed. Route 10 will be reopened in both directions by 6 a.m. Monday, October 24. The following detours will be in place:

From Route 10 east:
• Vehicles traveling on Route 10 eastbound will be directed to make a right onto Eyland Avenue
• Make a left onto Righter Road

Route 10 Truck Detour:
A detour is provided for trucks that are over 4 TONS.

• Trucks on Route 10 eastbound will travel past Eyland Avenue, and will be directed to Route 46 east to Canfield Avenue, make a right onto Canfield Avenue to Route 10.
• Trucks on Route 10 westbound will travel past Eyland Avenue, and will be directed to make a right onto Canfield Avenue to Route 46, and make a left onto Route 46 west, continue on Route 46 west to the intersection with Route 10.
