The Department of Public Works manages the project, which follows a mixed schedule to accommodate both daytime and nighttime construction. Work hours include daytime operations from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Monday through Friday) and nighttime operations from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM (Sunday through Friday), with weekend work as needed.

Throughout construction, traffic control measures, "No Parking/Tow Away Zone" signs, barrels, and fencing are implemented to ensure the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and local residents. Local access for residents, deliveries, and emergency services will be maintained at all times.

We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation during construction. These improvements will enhance street conditions, pedestrian access, and overall safety for years to come.
