Upcoming Road closure for Greenwood Avenue

 
The purpose of the road closure is replace the three outfall pipes on Greenwood Avenue. Due to the depth of the replacement pipes and the boring required, it is necessary to close the roadway.
 
In the next few weeks mailing will be sent to the residents adjacent to Greenwood Avenue that will be affected by the upcoming road closure. Mailings will go out three weeks before the road closure. The road closure duration is an estimation as weather and other circumstances could delay the pipe replacement.
 
The road closure will occur in two phases. Phase 1 will have an approximate time frame of 30 days. Phase 2 will have an approximate time frame of 15 days. Around two weeks before the road closure the electronic communication board will begin to advertise the road closure.
