Monroe Street- Work resumes March 28 on Monroe Street from 4th Ave south to 8^th Ave.  Monroe Street will be closed to thru traffic.

o   Work begins at  7a.m. in both Lincoln and Monroe Streets

o   Lincoln will be re-striped to accommodate two-way traffic

o   After restriping is complete, mid day, Monroe Street will close

o   The signal at 4^th and Monroe will shut down at this time

o   The on ramp for eastbound traffic at Monroe will remain open for the first two weeks of the project

o   Traffic exiting Maple Street eastbound will be detoured off of 4^th at Jefferson Street

o   In two weeks, the eastbound on ramp will close for two weeks for work across the ramp, when complete (approx two weeks) the ramp will open again

o   The alternative route during the Lincoln Monroe Project is the converted two-way traffic on Lincoln.  This is for local access and access to businesses. 

o   The official detour route is Stevens and is clearly marked

o   Alternative routes are not clearly marked as they are local and business access routes

o   Due to some work in 4^th Ave at the start of the project Lincoln will be inaccessible from Monroe on 4^th during the first few weeks.  

o   During that phase, Lincoln will be accessible via 3^rd to Wall then back from the east on either 4^th or 5^th.  This will be during the work in the Monroe/4^th intersection and 4^th Ave. which should last about 3 weeks. 

This project reconstructs the roadway from 8^th to 2^nd Avenue and installs storm water and water facilities.  The portion of this project that reconstructed the street from 2^nd to 4^th Avenues is substantially complete.
