🚧 Route 8 / 15th Street Closure & Detour Help for Franklin 🚧
If you’ve found yourself unexpectedly taking a tour of Miller Park while trying to get around the Route 8 / 15th Street closure, you’re definitely not the only one!
Since the closure began, we’ve seen a steady stream of vehicles come up into our neighborhood, circle around, and head right back toward downtown. We even had a tractor trailer make its way into our neighborhood this evening!
To hopefully help our neighbors and anyone traveling through Franklin, we’ve put up Detour signs at the intersection of Adelaide Ave and Plumer Ave with a map and directions for passenger vehicles.
➡️ Detour Route:
• Take Elk St / Liberty St through Franklin
• Turn right onto 3rd St
• Continue as the road becomes Bully Hill Rd going up the hill
• Turn right onto Congress Hill Rd
• Turn right onto Pone Ln
• Follow Pone Ln until you reach Route 8 / 15th St
📍 If you end up circling around Miller Park, look for our signs at Adelaide Ave & Plumer Ave to help point you in the right direction.
Hopefully this saves a few people some confusion over the next few days!
Please share this post to help get the word out, especially if you know someone from out of town who will be traveling through Franklin while the closure is in place.
