The city of Batavia said drivers should expect traffic delays as construction crews close lanes of a busy thoroughfare.

Starting June 9, crews are temporary closing lanes on West Wilson Street between North Lincoln Street and North Van Nortwick Avenue. Flagger-controlled traffic operations will be present in the area during daytime hours.

The construction work is expected to continue through June 12 as crews perform water service replacements.

“Exercise caution when traveling though the work zone and follow all posted traffic control signs and directions from flaggers,” the city posted.

The city is requesting that drivers consider using alternate routes or completely avoid the area if possible.
