The Police Department permit authorizes this work to take place at dates to be determined between Dec. 13 and 31. The start date is pending.
The work is expected to take up to three days to complete, sequentially, not on a weekend. The contractor is authorized to keep the roadway closed in both directions for the duration of the work.
