Good morning, Salem!

Main/Pleasant Intersection – Traffic Update
Utility work at the Pleasant/Main intersection will move to the center of the Pleasant/Main intersection beginning Tuesday October 22nd. Westbound only toward the highway will continue through the work zone. All eastbound traffic (headed toward Broadway) will be detoured beginning at South Policy Street. Traffic to the Main Apartments and Enterprise Bank will detoured primarily toward the Willow St/North Broadway intersection to the north side of the development. Inbound bank traffic will be permitted to use the former Tuscan Kitchen site. This phase of work will last 1-2 weeks at which time the largest majority of road excavation will be complete. Following this stage work will still be ongoing and motorists can still expect traffic delays and possible detours for the next few weeks depending on the work happening. Two-way traffic will be reestablished at the end of each workday. If construction conditions change then a full road closure is possible. Motorists traveling through the area should expect delays during these times and are encouraged to avoid the area if possible.

On September 23rd, the Town of Salem will begin efforts to relocate overhead utilities at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Main Street. Work will be located on Main St from St. Joseph’s Church east to the Salem rail trail and will extend south on pleasant street beyond the United Methodist Church. This is the first of two utility projects to be completed in advance of the reconstruction of the Pleasant/Main Intersection which will be completed during the summer of 2025. Excavation activities for this project are expected to extend 6-8 weeks, which will be followed by overhead wire relocation efforts. During work hours all eastbound traffic will be detoured around the work zone. West bound traffic will be allowed through the work zone. Two-way traffic will be reestablished at the end of each workday. If construction conditions change then a full road closure is possible.
