"Five Things you Need to Know Today" is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance.

1. Roadwork to Cause Delays on Turnpike St.

On Wednesday, Dec. 7 and Thursday, Dec. 8, the right lane of Turnpike St. from its intersection with Pleasant St. to its intersection with Page St. will be closed from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

The Stoughton Department of Public Works said a detour would be set up, but said to still expect delays.

There will also be water main work done on Turnpike St. during those days, so residents may experience discolored water and low water pressure problems as a result.

The Stoughton Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SSEPAC) meets this evening, Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 6:30 p.m. at the Jones School in the Parent and Information Wellness Center. 

An agenda is posted here.
