Beware! Rte #1 Construction!
AS you have probably noticed, traffic around the Breakwater Building has gotten worse with construction. The main water pipe will be replaced between MacDonald’s and our building. Delayed traffic is expected. Our best advice is for you to avoid the intersection at MacDonald’s. Take Old County Road and approach URock from the north side of Rte #1 and enter the parking lot from Fales Street. Please allow extra time.
