Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised drivers to be prepared for changes. “Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations,” Dyer said. “Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”
