SALISBURY — Patrons of the Salisbury post office found the building closed Monday, March 17 and a warning about asbestos abatement on the locked door.
Postal customers were directed to the Lakeville post office for their mail.
Salisbury Postmaster Lisa Hoage and Salisbury branch employees were at the Lakeville branch during the week helping manage the sudden influx of mail and customers.
Hoage said the floor of the Salisbury facility has been in poor condition for some time, and it came to a head.
But among the layers of flooring added over the years were materials containing asbestos.
Mail that was waiting for customers on March 17 was still at the Salisbury building, which was troublesome for some people.
One woman at the Lakeville branch explained to a clerk that she had medications waiting at the Salisbury office. She wasn’t too worried, however, saying that she had enough for the time being.
Following the removal and replacement of its flooring, the Salisbury post office reopened to the public on Monday, March 24.
