• The ramp from Rte 18 North onto The Fairhaven Bridge will be closed at some point in the next two weeks and will remain closed for an extended period. (It will be demolished and the whole intersection re-constructed to allow direct access from Elm St onto MacArthur Drive.) Plan on using Coggeshall St or 195 East if you're headed for Fairhaven.The ramp onto the bridge can still be accessed from the northbound lane.
  
• It may make the detour to Fairhaven a little less aggravating if you remember you're avoiding a sticky situation on the bridge. Traffic over its entire length has been reduced to one lane each way during re-paving.
  
• Travel on Rte 18 continues to be restricted to one lane both north and south between the Royal II restaurant and Elm St.
