As part of the ongoing Silver Street reconstruction project, crews will partially close a segment of Silver Street, between Locust Street and Central Avenue, for two weeks beginning Monday, Aug. 31, 2015. The closure will occur on weekdays, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding the Labor Day holiday.

Trucks, buses and residents with driveways within this zone will be allowed to pass through on Silver Street, but may experience delays. Regular traffic will be diverted in either direction at Locust Street on most days, or at Belknap Street on those days when there is heavy construction activity at Locust Street. Traffic-control flaggers will be stationed at the approaching intersections to facilitate the detour, or to facilitate the passage of buses, large trucks and local vehicles.

The one-way traffic pattern from Arch Street to Central Avenue remains in effect, except for the complete closure between Locust Street and Central Avenue during the two-week period.

The closure is planned to allow crews to perform excavation, drainage and utility work. Most construction operations will be located in this area during the two-week period, and less construction activity is expected near Woodman Park School before and after the Labor Day holiday.
