Concord Street/Painter Avenue Area Wastewater Rehabilitation Project

April 26, 2019 Update – Excavation work at the intersection of Painter Avenue and Concord Street has been extended through May 17. KUB contract crews will maintain a continuous closure of Painter Avenue at Concord Street, between Safety City Road and Sullins Street, through mid-May as work is performed on the wastewater collection system in the area. There will also be intermittent lane shifts as needed by work crews on Concord Street only during work hours. 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. See map on right side of blog for more details.
