Crews plan to close the 8th Ave and Dayton Street intersection July 6-9, 7am to 5pm, to continue road reconstruction. During this closure:
· Traffic through the 8th Ave intersection will not be allowed
· Access to businesses, driveways, and parking lots will be maintained

Paving overlay on Dayton Street from 6th Ave to 9th Ave scheduled for July 15 and 16, weather permitting.
Crews plan to complete the paving overlay of Dayton Street from 6th Ave to 9th Ave on Wednesday and Thursday, July 15-16, weather permitting. Unlike previous paving work, crews will work on both sides of Dayton Street to complete this work. Please plan to park off of Dayton Street on July 15 and 16 to avoid delays getting in and out of driveways during construction. During this work you may experience traffic delays due to:
· Intermittent road closures along Dayton Street while asphalt is placed, compacted, and cools.
· Intermittent closures of the 6th Ave, 7th Ave, 8th Ave, and 9th Ave and Dayton Street intersections lasting up to 4 hours each.
· Short-term driveway access restrictions lasting up to 4 hours.
Please keep in mind this work is weather-dependent and the schedule is subject to change and that additional closures are planned in the future. We will continue to provide updates on the work schedule as adjustments are made and final timelines and impacts of the work are determined.

What to expect during construction
Construction in Phase 2 will occur along Dayton Street between 5th Ave and 9th Ave and will include single-lane closures on Dayton Street, intermittent intersection closures, and other traffic impacts. As a refresher, we will be replacing aging and undersized utilities along Dayton Street. Improvements will include:
· Adding stormwater pipe capacity to reduce flooding downtown during heavy rainstorms
· Sewer pipe repairs and replacing potable water pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan
· Road Restoration and replacing the 5th Ave and Dayton Street intersection and concrete crosswalks
· Upgrading curb ramps to be ADA-accessible at the intersections of Dayton Street and 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Avenues
· Adding a sidewalk along the south side of Dayton Street from 7th Ave to 8th Ave, where there currently is no sidewalk.
