Downtown Bluefield prepares detour for Montgomery Ward demolition
Preparations begin Tuesday for a downtown detour in Bluefield to allow tearing down the eight story Montgomery Ward Building. Federal Street from Scott to Raleigh will close, with traffic routed onto Scott Street and detours toward Princeton Avenue or the reconfigured Commerce Street, which will become two way. The demolition was moved up from after the Fourth of July and should begin soon after the detour is in place.
