Road impacts

  • S. 2nd St, Tobin St, Victoria St, Hayes Pl, Nelson Pl NW, and NW 3rd Pl. Intermittent nighttime closures for final paving and asphalt overlay as soon as Monday, September 22.
  • Uniformed Police Officers (UPOs) will be on site at intersections from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. to assist with traffic flow

Please note: Paving work is subject to weather conditions. Local access will be maintained during these temporary closures, and temporary barricades will be set up for safe passage.

Night work

Nighttime construction for the final paving and asphalt overlay will occur from September 22 through mid-October. The overlay adds a smooth top layer that evens out the surface, improves ride quality, and helps protect the roadway for years to come.

Drivers should follow posted signs and closures and use extra caution when traveling through the area at night.
