If your travel plans take you to Route 56 (Paxton Street) in Leicester on Friday, April 20th plan for some extra time.
The Leicester Police Department says road work will be taking place that will require detours.
All Northbound traffic on Paxton Street (Rt. 56) will be detoured (right) on to Winslow Ave., (left) on to Hyland Ave., and then back on to Paxton Street (Rt. 56). This detour is being done to keep traffic from blocking the Winslow intersection and backing up traffic towards the center of town.

Traffic on Whittemore Street headed to Paxton Street will be detoured on to Washburn Street over to Rt.56. Drivers can then proceed north or south.
