A separate street notice at the bottom of the same list covers Platt Street from Plain Street to Varley Street and Varley Street from Platt Street to Bedford Street. The city's graphic dates that notice "Tuesday 11/2 and Wednesday 11/3." On the calendar, Nov. 2 is a Monday and Nov. 3 is a Tuesday.
Turner Street meets Davol Street along the Route 79 and Davol Street corridor, which the governor's office said Oct. 28 the state had finished rebuilding, as SC360 reported that day.

Notes
Every city street, block and date comes from the City of Fall River's own Road Closures/Delays post for the week of Nov. 2 on its official Fall River Government Facebook page, which we read and saved Monday night, Nov. 2. Every state closure, hour and width limit comes from MassDOT's own Mass511 event listings, which we read at 9:18 p.m. Monday and kept with each event number. We checked each date and weekday against a calendar; the city's graphic pairs Nov. 2 with Tuesday and Nov. 3 with Wednesday, and we quote it as printed. Not heard: the City of Fall River, on the hours, detours and the work on each street.
