📢 For Your Information:
As many of you are aware, the Town of Abingdon’s ongoing Sanitary Sewer Project on East Valley Street and Walden Road will continue into the start of the school year. While the first days back can always feel a little hectic, this construction project may make an already busy time more challenging for some.
We want you to know that we have been working closely with the Town of Abingdon, Abingdon Police Department, and Abingdon Fire Department to help ensure traffic flows as smoothly and safely as possible during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times.
Schools Impacted:
E.B. Stanley Middle School
Abingdon High School
Washington County Career & Technical Education Center
Traffic Control Support: To assist with traffic management, additional police and fire personnel will be stationed at several key intersections during these times.
Stanley Street and Thompson Drive
Boone Street and Main Street
Tanner Street and Main Street (Morning)
Tanner Street and Valley Street (Afternoon)
Pecan Street and Main Street (Traffic will be controlled by the light)
Important Notes:
If you’re leaving E.B. Stanley Middle School, we recommend avoiding a right turn onto Stanley Street, due to increased congestion. For those of you heading toward East Abingdon, Baugh Lane may be an easier option.
For all schools, arriving earlier than usual will help ease traffic and reduce stress.
Please exercise patience and caution as everyone adjusts to the changes.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigate these necessary improvements to the Town of Abingdon’s infrastructure. With your help, we’re confident we can ensure a safe and efficient start to the school year for all students.
