A portion of Lewis Road in the Town of Union will be closed to traffic due to a construction project.

According to the Broome County Public Works Department, Lewis Road will be out of service from Middle Stella Ireland Road to the Airport Road/East Maine Road intersection starting on Monday.

The closure will allow crews to work on the intersection of Lewis Road and Airport Road.

Drivers should expect some delays because of the closure. County officials urge motorists to use alternate routes.

The work at the intersection is expected to continue through July 1.
