SOUTHAMPTON – Commuters will have to find a different route this morning as a portion of Brickyard Road will be closed from the Gilbert Road intersection to Valley Road.

The closure comes as construction crews work to remove railroad tracks near Valley Road and make road repairs, according to a post on the town’s Facebook page.

The work is expected to begin around 8 a.m. and last until early afternoon. The road is likely to reopen after 4 p.m., just in time for the evening commute.

“During closure, residents who live on this section will be able to enter and exit from the Gilbert Road end,” wrote Randall Kemp, Southampton’s highway superintendent.
