The milling and overlay work will be in accordance with the approved street list; the first streets that will be paved are:

  • South Burhans Boulevard (Wesel Boulevard to Elgin Boulevard)

  • Elgin Boulevard (Burhans Boulevard to West Washington Street)

  • Claire Street (Burhans Boulevard to Brewer Avenue)

  • Brewer Avenue (Claire Street to Center Street)

As much as possible, at least one lane of each street will remain open to traffic, and flagging operations will be used to direct traffic through the work zones.

Motorists approaching the work areas will encounter flagmen and other traffic control devices, and should expect temporary delays.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes that avoid the streets where work is being performed.

It is expected that the pavement preservation program will continue through June.
