Traffic will be diverted onto South Berteau Avenue from either Railroad or Devon avenues. On Sunday, Sept. 1, motorists may experience some traffic delays due to the Bartlett Lion's Club Labor Day Dash, which begins at 8 a.m.

The 5K/10K run/walk will start and finish on Railroad Avenue, just east of South Main Street. Other busy streets the race will affect include Prospect Avenue, South Bartlett Road, Western Avenue and Devon Avenue.
