City crews are working on a series of improvements to the intersection of 2nd Avenue SE and SE Bush Street in Olde Town.
The intersection will be closed on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m for road overlay. City crews will repave and restore the street. A detour will be in place.
School Impacts
Update: This phase of work will be completed by the end of September.
Starting on Aug. 29, the project will adjust to minimize impacts to school traffic. Lane closures will occur; however both lanes will be open during peak before and after school windows. Thank you for your patience as we complete these critical improvements.
General work hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. except on Wednesdays where it will be adjusted to 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. to accommodate the school late starts.
It is expected that this phase of work will be completed by late Sept. barring any supply chain issues.
