Since the sewer pipe’s collapse a week ago, traffic on Sandy Lane has since been restricted to westbound travel only.
However, to cut back on congestion, two-way traffic will be permitted Monday – Friday between 3:30 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. Cars can travel both ways during the weekend as well.
Police officers will remain on the scene for the duration of repairs, which is expected to take several weeks.
Businesses on Sandy Lane are still accessible and remain open.

Collapsed Sewer Line In Warwick Under Construction, Affects Local Traffic
Crews are continuing to repair a collapsed sewer line in Warwick on Sandy Lane after it failed last week right before Thanksgiving.
As crews repair the damaged sewer line, Sandy Lane will be open to westbound traffic only until further notice. Police officers will be on the construction site to direct detours.
Fletcher Avenue will be closed to traffic, and only buses will be allowed through.
Two school bus stops for students attending Lippitt Elementary, Toll Gate High School and the Warwick Area Career and Technical Center have also been relocated.
The Warwick Sewer Authority expects repairs to take several weeks.
