According to a Facebook post from the Sumner Police Department, 24th Street will be closed in both directions starting on Friday, March 6 at 6 p.m. and ending on Sunday, March 8 at 9 p.m.
The closure is due to Union Pacific Railroad doing repair work on their tracks crossing the street, the post said.
SPD said drivers should “expect congestion/delays, especially for freight traffic.”
“A detour route will be in place,” the post said. “... Drivers may want to use an alternate route with the Traffic Avenue interchange.”
