To increase motorist efficiency, we have implemented the closure of Eastbound Henry Street at the intersection at East Stadium Blvd. Therefore, on Thursday December 22, at 1PM, the Contractor will set up warning barrels and barricades at Henry St. to stop traffic from entering Eastbound Henry St. from the S. Industrial Highway/E. Stadium Boulevard intersection and adjust the lane markings and traffic signs to reflect this change. For those needing to cross E. Stadium Blvd. and go east; they will need turn right onto E. Stadium Blvd. then make a left turn across it onto Golden Ave. Traffic will still be able to make a left turn from the left turn lane of S. Industrial Highway onto westbound Henry St. at the intersection at E. Stadium Blvd. The right turn from E. Stadium onto Eastbound Henry St. is prohibited as is the left turn from E.
