Beginning today, Monday, June 8, lane closures will be in place on East 3rd Street between South Delaware Avenue and South Harvard Avenue as part of ongoing waterline and road rehabilitation work.

The project will take place in two phases, with each phase expected to last about 10 days. During the first phase, the westbound lane will be closed to traffic. Once work is completed in that lane, closures will shift to the eastbound lane until the work is finished.

Please slow down, use caution in the work zone, and follow posted traffic control signs. Thank you for your patience as we improve this corridor.
