Project Update for N. Central Street

June 16, 2017 N. Central Street Update – This past week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., continued to progress north toward the Woodland Avenue intersection with installation of the new water main on N. Central Street. Approximately 700 feet of water main installation remains along N. Central Street between Oklahoma Avenue and Woodland Avenue.

Next week, the newly-installed section of water main between Baxter Avenue and Oklahoma Avenue will be tested. Pending successful completion of testing, Adams and Sons will begin making service line connections, installing fire lines/hydrants, and preparing for final side street tie-ins on this stretch of N. Central Street.

Please note that street parking is prohibited on both sides of N. Central Street between Baxter Avenue and Woodland Avenue for the duration of the project.

The overall existing traffic pattern remains in place, with both northbound lanes and the northbound bicycle lane 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 instructed to merge with vehicle traffic through the work zone. All turn lanes remain open in the N. Central Street and N. Broadway intersection.

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