Traffic on South Boulevard will be reduced to one lane, each direction, beginning on Monday, Feb. 5 at 6:00 a.m.

The partial road closure between 8^th Street and 12^th Street is necessary for the installation of a water main across the two northbound lanes of South Boulevard.

Barring unforeseen conditions, the construction will be complete by 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 9.

No interruptions in utility service are anticipated. Notice will be made to area property owners if interruptions become necessary.  

Northbound traffic will be diverted to a single lane beginning at 12^th Street. Southbound traffic will be diverted to a single lane beginning at 8^th Street. Traffic controls will be in place to guide traffic.

Access will be maintained, but controlled to the Common Cents property. Access from 10^th Street will be maintained; however, wait times may increase due to the reduction in traffic lanes on South Boulevard.
