This section of road will remain closed through mid-April. Crews also dug two pits and began setting up bore equipment in the two-block section of Morgan Street between E. Depot Avenue and E. Jackson Avenue for pipe installation under railroad tracks in this area. This section of Morgan Street will be closed through the end of April 2018. Boring crews continue to work on installation of sections of pipe under the railroad tracks in the area beneath the W. Fifth Avenue bridge to the west of Cooper Street. Work Zone Shift Update: Beginning on Tuesday, April 10, Garney Construction is expected to close the N. Broadway at N. Central Street intersection for pipe installation.
