Happening today, city leaders in Amherst will break ground on a new Fort River Elementary School.
The new school will be built just south of the current elementary school.
You're looking at video of that area.
That means some traffic changes are also starting today.
From now on, all traffic in and out of the elementary school will be directed through the north entrance.
The south entrance will only be used for construction vehicles.
The new school is set to open in the fall of 2026.
