Concord Street/Painter Avenue Area Wastewater Project

April 12, 2019 Update – Painter Avenue Wastewater Rehabilitation Project – Excavation work at the intersection of Painter Avenue and Concord Street has been extended through April 26. KUB contract crews will maintain a closure of Painter Avenue at Concord Street, between Safety City Road and Sullins Street, to through traffic weekdays from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 2, through Friday, April 26, as work is performed on the wastewater collection system in the area. Due to extensive excavation, the Painter Avenue intersection at Concord Street will remain closed for the duration of this work. There will be intermittent lane shifts as needed by work crews on Concord Street only during work hours. Saturday, April 13, through Friday, April 26, this section of Painter Avenue will be closed continuously. Alternate routes include Jersey Avenue, Sullins Street, and Safety City Road. Local traffic access will be maintained. Appropriate signage, flaggers, and barricades will be on site to assist with traffic control. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times on Concord Street. Painter Avenue will remain closed to vehicle traffic through for the duration of construction in this area.

Following completion of work on Painter Avenue, a closure of the Third Creek Greenway lasting approximately one week will be required between the west entrance/exit to Tyson Park and the trail split near Safety City. A detour will be set up via Painter Avenue while this section of greenway is closed. All traffic and greenway impacts will be communicated by KUB and the contractor via onsite signage, media advisories, and on social media platforms. Construction affecting Painter Avenue and the Third Creek Greenway will not be performed at the same time, and related closures will not occur during the same period.
