EIGHTH STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS

This is the last in a series of traffic alerts that has been issued throughout the construction of the Downtown Links - Eighth Street Drainage Improvement project. The alerts announce construction, detour and street closure information as it affects traffic.

The Eighth Street Drainage Improvement project limits extend from Sixth Avenue on the west to Third Avenue on the east and Sixth Street on the north to Stevens Avenue on the south. Work throughout the improvement area will necessitate multiple street closures and restrictions that will impact motorists and bicyclists.

Business and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the work area.

On Tuesday, May 15 through Friday, May 18, the contractor will pave, place roadway markings and make utility adjustments on Eighth Street between Fifth and Hoff Avenues. Traffic on Fourth Avenue will be maintained.

This paving/striping operation along Eighth Street completes the work for the Eight Street Drainage Improvement Project. Thank you to the businesses, residents and traveling public for your patience and cooperation during this project.

The traveling public can expect delays when driving, bicycling or walking in this work area. For your safety, please observe all traffic control signage, message boards, and obey reduced speed limits. Watch for construction personnel and equipment in the work zone.
