PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION: MAY – OCTOBER 2019:
The first phase of construction (Dayton Street from 3rd Ave S to 5th Ave S) will begin on May 13, 2019 and is anticipated to be completed in Fall 2019. Work during this phase will occur mostly between 3rd Ave S and 5th Ave S. Some sewer pipe rehabilitation work between 6th and 9th may be part of phase 1.
Traffic and pedestrian impacts
- One lane of traffic, either eastbound or westbound, will be maintained on Dayton St during most of construction. Traffic control will be present to direct people through the work area during construction
- Parking will be restricted in the work area
- To provide safe working spaces for construction crews, there may be temporary intersection and/or block closures lasting for 1 to 3 days. We will notify businesses and neighbors ahead of these closures
- Sidewalks and driveways will remain open except for short durations to maintain safety throughout the corridor
Phase 2 of construction (Dayton Street from 5th Ave S to 9th Ave S) will begin as early as Spring 2020 and last into Fall 2020.
