Work zones will be completed in sequential order and work will only begin in a zone after the previous zone is completed. These detours will facilitate safe installation of crosswalks. Refer to attached Exhibit 1- N Swinton Ave Detour.
City and CEI staff intends to maintain the Contractor's approved schedule, however proposed dates are subject to change due to inclement weather, unforeseen site conditions or unanticipated project delays.
Other work under this project (pavement rehabilitation, sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, etc.) will occur separately using flaggers only.
Work is anticipated to begin around 11/17/2026 and the last side street is expected to be re-opened to traffic by 1/19/2027.
