Veterans Memorial Drive Roadwork To Begin Next Week

Weather permitting, the City of Mt. Vernon Public Works Department is scheduled to conduct road patching on Veterans Memorial Drive, specifically from 28th to 29th Street. This maintenance activity will take place from Tuesday, March 5th, to Thursday, March 7th, 2024.

During this period, the section of Veterans Memorial Drive between 12th St. and 34th St. will be closed to through-traffic. However, local traffic will still have access to all businesses in this section (from 12th to 34th) from either the east or west side of the road, focusing on the specific patch locations between 28th and 29th Street.

For those affected by the closure, a detour will be in place and clearly marked with signage. The detour route will guide drivers through 12th St., Route 15, and 34th St. as an alternative path.

We understand that this may cause inconvenience, and we apologize for any disruption. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact the Public Works Department at 242-6853.
