Traffic Restriction Along Pine Street Extended to Include Kilburn Street to Maple Street

Pine Street will continue to be a single northbound travel lane during work hours to facilitate curb and sidewalk installation, drainage work, and the construction of the raised intersections. The section of Pine Street restricted to northbound only will be extended to include the segment between Locust Street and Maple Street. Pine Street between Maple Street and Kilburn Street will no longer be open to two-way traffic. All southbound vehicles traveling between Maple and Locust Street will be detoured from Pine Street at Maple Street to St. Paul Street.

Kilburn Street, Pine Place, and Marble Avenue will continue to be restricted to right turn only at their intersection with Pine Street. Kilburn Street (reduced width), Pine Place, and Marble Avenue will remain open. Howard Street will continue to be closed at its intersection with Pine Street. This closure will remain in effect 24 hours a day until it is reopened Friday, May 3, by 7:00 p.m. Eastbound right and westbound left turns from Maple Street onto Pine Street are prohibited. Flaggers will be stationed at each side street to assist motorists. Please see the detour graphic below (click image to enlarge).
