Nighttime paving of Springs-Fireplace Road in East Hampton and Springs will begin next week, the Suffolk County Department of Public Works announced this week. 

Pioneer Asphalt will pave the road, which is being widened and upgraded, from North Main Street to Woodbine Drive between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., starting as soon as Monday. The work is expected to last for six nights. 

Detours will be posted with parking restrictions during the hours the paving is being done. Information will be posted the night before the temporary detours and restrictions. Residents have been asked to keep the area clear of vehicles. Only local traffic will be permitted through the night detours. 

Questions can be directed to Bill Sheridan, the consultant inspector, at 631-599-2997, or Junior LaMontagne, Suffolk resident engineer, at 631-852-4002.
