1st Street SW Underpass Enhancement
Tuesday, February 10th, 2015January 26 saw the start of construction on enhancements to the 1 Street S.W. underpass to provide greater safety and comfort for users of the underpass pedestrian walkways.
This project will result in some underpass pedestrian and road restrictions and closures.
Starting Sunday, January 25, 2015, the west side pedestrian walkway of the underpass will be closed between 9 Avenue and 10 Avenue until the enhancements on the west side are completed. During this time, pedestrians will need to use the east side pedestrian walkway.
One lane of southbound vehicle traffic will also be closed during construction on the west side.
When the enhancements on the west side are completed and it is opened to the public, the east side pedestrian walkway of the underpass will be closed between 9 Avenue and 10 Avenue until those enhancements are completed. One lane of northbound vehicle traffic will also be closed during construction on the east side.
