Reconstruction of Division Street between National Avenue and Glenstone Avenue will include the complete rebuild of the roadway including new pavement, curb and gutter as well as stormwater drainage improvements. A new sidewalk will be constructed along the north side of the roadway and a multi-use path along the south side. Gas and water utility renewals will be conducted through a cost-share agreement with City Utilities.
Construction is expected to take one year at an estimated cost of $4.6 million, funded through the 1/4-cent Capital Improvement and 1/8-cent Transportation sales taxes.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
The westbound lane of Division Street will close to traffic between National and Glenstone avenues beginning Wednesday, July 27.
Eastbound traffic will be allowed using a single open lane. Westbound traffic is advised to follow the posted detour utilizing Glenstone Avenue, Commercial Street, and National Avenue.
The work zone is expected to remain one-way eastbound for a significant portion of the one-year duration of project construction to help facilitate efficiency and safety for work crews and the traveling public.
