Progress on I-395 Expansion to Trigger Clewlyville Rd. Detour for Months

Driving through Holden and Eddington right now is interesting.

I went out to my camp right before Christmas to check on things, and I was kind of taken aback by all the progress that's been made on the I-395 expansion. I often drive through the Clewlyville Rd/Eastern Ave/Lambert Rd area, and there's all sorts of dirt moved, bridge pieces in place, and it's all beginning to look like a real road.

I won't lie, I'm pretty stoked for the project to be completed. It's going to make the trip from my house in Hampden to my camp on Davis Pond take half the time. As it is now, I have to either take the really long way, or wind my way through the back roads of Eddington and Holden to avoid traffic on 1A or the Airline Rd.

The Eddington Fire Dept. just announced new detours and closure.

According to the EFD, the folks doing the construction will need to close a section of Clewlyville Road to install a section of bridge. This will cause detours in a few different ways. Here's the breakdown, from a Facebook post right from the Eddington Fire Dept...

*Traffic will be detoured from the intersection of Levensellar Road to the intersection of Lambert Road. On the map, detour routes are marked in red.

* The Closure will start next week, January 9th, 2023, and run until November 15th, 2023. We will send another reminder at the end of this week.

* Turnarounds will be installed for buses, plows, and emergency vehicles.

Cheap eats are where it's at, right?
