Construction on underground utility wires Downtown will begin Monday,

involving lane closures and detours throughout the area over the next

two months.

The first phase of work will run through June, then resume in

September after the summer season. While traffic is comparatively

light in the spring, an early onset of summer-like weather could

bring heavy traffic.

The real visual impact of construction can be expected in

November, when utility poles and overhead utility wires are removed.

New, decorative streetlights will also be installed.

Downtown travelers should anticipate travel delays and parking

restrictions during the duration of the project.
