The Town of Yarmouth announced a schedule of road work and closures for the week of Oct. 26, tied to ongoing sewer, water main, drainage and paving projects. Work runs Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless otherwise noted.
On Route 28 at Parker's River Landing, the road will be closed during the day, with drivers directed to detour via Winslow Gray Road, Forest Road and Long Pond Drive.
