A portion of River Street is going to be closed for a couple of days starting Tuesday so contractors can make a new sewer connection for the new Dunkin' Donuts being built on West Main Street.

The project's engineer, Kip Finley, said, "we need to catch a couple of warm days. The forecast for the middle of next week is for highs in the middle to upper 30s.

Work should start the Tuesday morning and proceed through Thursday and could continue into Thursday afternoon depending on weather.

The street and Five Star Bank driveway will reopen for traffic before Friday, Finley said.

A traffic detour will be posted on West Main Street, South Main Street, and Route 98. Access to Five Star Bank and the immediate residents will be provided from the Tonawanda Creek bridge.

Emergency Services have been notified and will adjust travel routes as needed.
