The repairs are scheduled to be completed by mid-to-late October, weather permitting, with work occurring Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Traffic control measures, including signage, will guide motorists safely around the work zone, and residents and businesses will maintain access to essential services.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution, follow posted detours, and avoid the area if possible, as alternative parking will be required for vehicles typically parked on the street.
