The next stage of the Wilson Avenue Corridor Project will begin November 6, with a road closure impacting westbound traffic on Wilson Avenue between Ninth Street and Hill Street. This closure is scheduled to last through June of 2024. Local and emergency access will be maintained.

The Wilson Avenue Corridor is a multi-phase modernization project that will improve safety and east-west connectivity for all users along Wilson Avenue from Second Street to 15th Street. This is an integral part of future improvements to Reed Market. The project is being constructed over three phases, with multiple stages, to minimize traffic impacts.

This stage brings several significant improvements to the area, including:

• Upgraded Signal and Protected Intersection: A modernized signal and protected intersection design for bicyclists at Third Street and Wilson Avenue.
• Safer Pedestrian and Bicyclist Connections: Enhanced safety for pedestrians and bicyclists at the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Second Street.
• Waterline Replacement and Stormwater Infrastructure Installation: Replacing aging waterlines and installing state-of-the-art stormwater infrastructure.

ROAD CLOSURE

Westbound Wilson Avenue will be closed to all traffic between Ninth Street and Hill Street. Local and emergency access will be maintained. Wilson Avenue traffic will be detoured via Ninth Street to Reed Market Road.
