Work is moving quickly on the 1st Avenue roadway and trail improvements project. Nearly all of the pavement work will be completed by the end of this week.
Starting next week, westbound traffic will begin to use the newly completed westbound lanes. Traffic traveling in both directions will shift to the outer-most lanes to accommodate pavement marking.
Once new pavement markings are in place, traffic will shift again to the inside lanes to allow for final work to be completed along the shoulders (including installation of signage, sod, and other miscellaneous punch list items). Once this work is completed, two travel lanes in each direction and a center turn lane will be restored on 1st Avenue.
All intersections should be opened by mid-October. The remainder of the project work, including the final trail connection to the pedestrian underpass, should be completed quickly thereafter. This project is on track to be completed on time by the end of November.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve this busy corridor!
