Lane closures on the section of eastbound Riverside Drive between Sterling Optical and Western Sizzlin will remain in place through the first of next week because of weather delays.

Crews are installing water and gas utilities for new businesses at 3301 and 3251 Riverside Drive. The center and right lanes are closed, reducing the section of Riverside Drive to one eastbound lane. A left turn lane in that vicinity on westbound Riverside Drive also is closed.

Motorists are urged to slow down and be alert to the altered traffic pattern, allow more time to reach their destination, or consider an alternate route.
