(KAIR)--Motorists are facing another downtown Atchison street closure this week, as traffic on 5th Street, at the Commercial Street intersection, is diverted beginning now.

According to a release from the City of Atchison, the closure is due to the continuing construction work on the 500-600 Commercial Street Project.

The closure, which went into effect Wednesday, is expected to remain in place for several days.

According to the release, the 6th and Commercial intersection as well as the 7th and Commercial intersection will remain open during this closure, though both of those intersections will require more closures over the next couple of months as the project advances.
