8/31 Downtown Project Schedule & Updates

Stormwater – JBI will be working down by the Fishermen's Coop again today. Expect single lane traffic at the constriction site. Please be mindful of traffic control and drive slowly over crosscuts and through the construction zone.

Roads and Sidewalks – The road extending from the Ferry Terminal to Windy Way will be reclaimed beginning in mid-September. This means the roadway will be all gravel until mid-October, when the first layer of pavement will be installed on the road and in the bank parking lot. The final layer of pavement and sidewalk construction will take place next spring. JBI anticipates shutting down construction for the winter by mid-November and resuming work in the spring.
