Waterline Replacement on A Avenue Begins Monday

Expect Traffic Delays

This week, work to replace a waterline on A Avenue in the westbound lanes between Fourth and Tenth Streets will begin. Traffic will be reduced to one lane at times on westbound A Avenue and connecting streets, and flaggers may be used to help traffic pass through the area. The work will require temporary, short term closures of the alleys on the north side of A Avenue. In addition, eastbound lanes will be temporarily affected as connections are made to the south side of A Avenue. Work for this phase of A Avenue construction will be completed by June 15. Paving is expected to begin in early July. Call the Construction Hotline at 503-635-0261, for updates.
