The Cedar Street Reconstruction Project will reconstruct Cedar Street (between Division Avenue and Lincoln Avenue), where the pavement has significantly deteriorated, and the road base is failing. Improvements on this portion of Cedar Street will include new road base and subbase, asphalt pavement, stormwater infrastructure, sidewalk, replacement of utilities, and the planting of street trees. The project also includes upgraded stormwater infrastructure on Lincoln Avenue between Cedar Street and Pine Street, including new stormwater pipe and catch basins. 

Traffic Impacts - Starting Wednesday, July 8 
  • Full closure to through traffic (vehicles, bicyclist & pedestrians) on Cedar Street between Lincon Avenue and Willow Drive during active construction
  • This work is anticipated to last a week.
  • Detours will be in place. Motorists should follow posted traffic control signage.
  • Local access will be maintained, except for when crews are working directly in front of driveways
  • On-street parking will be prohibited within the work zone during paving operations. Vehicles left in the zone may be subject to towing.
⚠️ TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Expect delays. Please utilize alternate routes whenever possible.
