Watch for changing traffic control on the E Locust infrastructure and resurfacing project between Grand and Eastern beginning Tuesday, September 3. During this phase of construction, travel will be head-to-head in the southern lanes of E Locust between Esplanade and Carey, with a no left turn restriction. Southbound Bridge and north and southbound College will also be closed between E Locust and E Pleasant. Follow signed detour or seek an alternate route to avoid delays. Watch for updates on changing travel conditions as work progresses.

Resurfacing and infrastructure improvements are coming to E Locust St between Grand and Eastern beginning Monday, July 22. The overall resurfacing project will include targeted full-depth patching, sewer repairs, traffic signal upgrades, and ADA-compliant curb ramp/sidewalk installation.
Initially, the work zone will require transient lane reductions for sewer repairs and then transition to the closure of two lanes on one side of the street for milling and resurfacing. Once one side of the road is complete, work will flip for milling and resurfacing and then transition back to transient lane reductions.
One lane of travel in each direction on Locust will be maintained. To reduce traffic backups and improve safety in the work zone, left turns at non-signalized intersections or driveways will not be permitted.
Be alert when traveling through the area for changing traffic control and those in the work zone.
The project is estimated to be complete mid-to-late November, pending weather and subsurface conditions.
