Project Update for N. Central Street

March 10, 2017 N. Central Street/Fifth Avenue Update – This past week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., continued water main installation work on the section of N. Central Street between N. Broadway and Pearl Place. Both northbound lanes and the northbound bicycle lane have been closed continuously for the duration of work on this section of N. Central Street. Traffic flow is maintained in both directions, however, with one northbound and one southbound lane shifting to the southbound side of N. Central Street. Southbound bicycle traffic is in instructed to merge with vehicle traffic through the work zone. All turn lanes remain open in the N. Central Street and N. Broadway intersection. Traffic flow was also returned to normal for all lanes (including the bicycle lane) on the section of N. Central Street between W. Fifth Avenue and N. Broadway as crews completed all roadway surface restoration and striping.

Next week, Adams and Sons, Inc., will continue excavation and pipeline installation on the above-mentioned stretch of N. Central Street. Existing traffic and erosion control measures will remain in place on this section through early April 2017.

Note that connecting side streets intersections in this area will remain open until work is required at those locations. Follow up notices will be issued ahead of any work requiring intersection closures in this work zone.

Vehicle traffic is advised to remain aware of the ongoing presence of workers, equipment, traffic channeling devices, barricades, and signs in this area.
