The clo- sure will affect Route 7 (Newtown-Northeast Plaza) and Route 8 (Newtown-U.S. 301). Route 7 will be detoured at the intersection of Orange Avenue and 10th Street. The detour route will be east on 10th Street, north on U.S. 301 and west on 12th Street, then back to the main route at Osprey Avenue and 12th Street. Route 8 will turn east to follow the Route 7 detour on 10th Street, then head north on U.S. 301 and west on 12th Street, before returning to the main route at Orange Avenue and 12th Street. For both routes, service north of 12th Street and south of 10th Street will not be impacted by the detour, a county news release says.
