At the Wednesday night Hillyard neighborhood meeting they said the contractor would start at Market an Garland and work north to the Y with Haven. Then the contractor will go north to Francis and head south. By doing it this way they hope to have Haven open in 15 working days.
Wow, that's impressive, 15 working days! I know, it's still two weeks of inconvenience, but it should be really nice when done. There's nothing like the smell of fresh asphalt :)
Market will be closed in the business district for quite a while, but getting Haven open will be a good thing, lets hope all goes well and they can follow the plan.
They have the top coat of asphalt on Market and lanes striped from Garland to almost Wellesley. They are working on the intersection of Market and Wellesley today, so hopefully that section will open soon.
Thanks for the update Charles. I expect my weekly construction update from the City tomorrow so if it says on it when that section will open I'll let you know.
