Plymouth To Shift Downtown To One-Way Traffic Starting Friday

PLYMOUTH, MA — Plymouth will go one-way downtown in an attempt to steer residents and tourists toward the expanded outdoor dining options near the waterfront.

The new traffic pattern will begin on Friday and will continue until further notice.

The Plymouth Recovery Task Force devised the plan to assist local businesses with economic recovery as outdoor dining is allowed, and indoor restaurant capacity is limited by social distancing restrictions.

Court Street and Main Street (Route 3A) will be open to southbound traffic only between Chilton Street and Leyden Street. Northbound traffic along the Route 3A downtown corridor will be diverted through Water Street.

Jersey barriers will be used to create a pedestrian corridor on the east side, while existing parking spaces on the west side of Court Street and Main Street will remain available.

Side streets off Court Street and Main Street between Chilton Street and Leyden Street will remain
accessible via the allowed southbound traffic.

Message boards notifying drivers of the changed pattern have been set up with travelers advised to expect travel delays in the area due to the lane restrictions.

General questions about the plan may be directed to the Department of Public Works at 508-830-4162, Ext 12101, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
