Construction work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, February 23rd, weather permitting. The construction will require the closure of the northbound lane of Nippersink Boulevard between Grand Avenue and Oak Street. A detour will be set up to guide northbound traffic to Forest Avenue. This closure will be set up throughout the duration of the project, which is scheduled to be completed in September 2021.
During the next couple of weeks, the Contractor will establish a work zone on the west side of Nippersink Boulevard as shown in the image above. The existing vehicle parking along the west side of Nippersink Boulevard between Oak Street and Rolland Place will be closed. Motorists who typically utilize these spaces are encouraged to use the parking lots on the east side of Nippersink Boulevard or the roadway parking south of Rolland Place. Access to these facilities will be maintained during the duration of the initial Stage 1A.
Motorists should expect to see construction equipment and workers as the work commences along Nippersink Boulevard. Please be aware of these workers as well as the equipment and traffic control measures when traveling through the work zone.
