The good news is the detour around the Davis Ave Railroad underpass is over and it’s possible to drive under the tracks and I95.
However, now there is a detour within Bruce Park.
“We’re trying to do our part to make as many people aware as possible,” said Lt Slusarz on Monday. “Give yourself a little extra time and plan a new route.”
