The Stevenson Post Office at 281 Cottage Street in Monroe will be closing at the end of the day because the lease is expiring and the U.S. Postal Service is looking for a new location.
A mobile post office will be set up in the short term and customers with post office boxes can pick up their mail at 244 Roosevelt Street in Monroe, about a mile away from the current site, as well as perform retail transactions.
The mobile post office will be open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
The blue collection box will also be removed, so customers should drop outgoing mail off at the Mobile Post Office during its business hours.
Residents can also use the Monroe Post Office, at 270 Monroe Turnpike in Monroe, which is 6.5 miles away.
If mail is delivered to your home, service will not be interrupted.
Item requiring a signature will be held at the mobile unit at 244 Roosevelt Ave. in Monroe if you are not home to provide one when a carrier goes to your door.
