Detour in Lincolnia set for this week

A segment of Chowan Avenue between Fifth Street and Third Street in Lincolnia will be closed to through traffic from Monday, March 31, to Thursday, April 3, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., each day, VDOT announced.   

The closure is necessary for the replacement of a drainage pipe at a spot located just north of the Chowan Avenue/Fifth Street intersection

Those needing to reach properties along Chowan Avenue will have access, but traffic will not be able to go beyond the point of pipe replacement in either direction.

Through traffic will be detoured via Fifth Street, Cherokee Avenue, and Third Street back to Chowan Avenue.
