Project Update for N. Central Street

February 17, 2017 N. Central Street/Fifth Avenue Update – This past week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., tied in the existing water mains on Third Avenue, Fourth Avenue, and Emory Place to the new main along N. Central Street between Fifth Avenue and the N. Broadway intersection. This work was performed overnight to minimize the impacts to customers and traffic flow. All remaining service lines and hydrants were connected as well. Paving and roadway restoration work was also completed on this section of N. Central Street.

Next week, Adams and Sons, Inc. will shift the work zone to the intersection of N. Central Street at N. Broadway. This work will require the closure of the northbound lanes for approximately one block in each direction on both N. Central Street and N. Broadway through the intersection. Traffic will be maintained through the intersection by merging flow to one northbound and one southbound lane. Northbound traffic on N. Central Street between Third Avenue and N. Broadway will be detoured around the work zone to N. Broadway via Third Avenue and Lamar Street. These lane closures will be in effect continuously from February 21-24. Access to businesses will be maintained during this period.

Vehicle traffic is advised to remain aware of the ongoing presence of workers, equipment, traffic channeling devices, barricades, and signs in this area. Follow up notices will be issued ahead of any work requiring intersection closures in this work zone.

Please see the current N. Central Street traffic map with the issue date of February 17, 2017 in the right hand column of this blog for the current traffic control plan and more detailed information.
