Traffic detours planned to begin today on S. Main Street have been delayed by one week, according to a statement released by James Madison University this morning.
Next Monday, southbound traffic on South Main Street will be diverted around the JMU campus onto Cantrell Avenue and then to High Street. Main Street traffic can return southbound on Maryland Avenue.
The detours are a result of construction occurring on the Performing Arts Center and the adjacent pedestrian tunnel under S. Main Street.
Previous announcements by the university had said detours are planned to conclude August 2.
Northbound traffic is not expected to be affected, although the statement says there may be delays during peak traffic times.
