Vehicle access on Wilson Street will remain open. Single lane closures are possible during this work with flaggers directing traffic through this area. The city of Batavia requets that all deliveries for North River Street  use State Street for access to this area during this time. There may be times when traffic will not be able to egress or ingress North River Street at Wilson Street when the contractor removes and places the new asphalt pavement. The city will be working with the contractor to minimize this.
