TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE ON 6th AVENUE BETWEEN ALDER STREET AND ISLAND HIGHWAY – AUGUST UPDATE
A temporary road closure is in effect on 6th Avenue, between Alder Street and Island Highway. This work began in April and will continue until late October 2023. This closure facilitates important City infrastructure replacements to storm mains, sanitary mains, water mains, and road surfaces that will allow high quality City services to continue to be delivered into the future.
The closure runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Local traffic and emergency vehicle access is available throughout. Two-way traffic has been in place for most of the work, but intermittent disruption on the Island Highway at 6th Avenue does occur, and single-lane alternating traffic is in place at times. Traffic disruption on Thulin Street between 5th and 6th Avenue may also occur. Thank you for following all traffic controls in place.
Despite crews adapting and working longer hours when possible, the archaeological review and permitting process, supply chain issues, and contractor staffing challenges have caused delays in the project schedule. The City understands that road closures can cause disruption to daily lives, and we thank residents for their patience this summer.
