The Merced City School District would like to make students, parents, and other residents aware of a road closure that will impact traffic in front of Cruickshank Middle School.

As part of a housing project, the developer will be doing road work on Mercy Avenue from Monday, August 22^nd through Friday, August 26^th.  Eastbound traffic on Mercy Avenue will be closed from Mansionette Drive to Paulson Road during that time.

A detour will be in place for drivers who turn onto Mercy Avenue from G Street.  It will require drivers to turn right onto Mansionette Drive, left onto Yosemite Avenue, left onto Paulson road, and left onto Mercy Avenue.  Detour signs will be posted, and the westbound lane of Mercy Avenue will remain open.

Extra MCSD staff members will be on hand during the road closure to ensure student safety during drop off and pick up times.  We would like to remind everyone to please drive slowly and carefully around Cruickshank Middle School, and be prepared for slight delays.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  If you have any questions, please contact the school office at 209-385-6330.
