On Friday, Dec. 3, beginning at 7am, the Portsmouth Water and Fire District (PWFD) will be working for one day in the area of Boyd Lane and Anthony Road, with alternating one-lane operation on Anthony and narrowed lanes on Boyd, according to a statement. Motorists were advised that traffic may be "slowed and occasionally backed up during this work time period, particularly during morning and evening commuting hours."

Sounds like a good idea to seek alternate routes.
