UPDATE: Franklin Closure Direction Switch Begins Nov. 5
UPDATE: Franklin Avenue Construction Detour Changes – Westbound Closes and Eastbound Opens Wednesday, Nov. 5
The Franklin Avenue Improvements Project detour direction switch will now take place on Wednesday, Nov. 5 due to a construction delay.
The Franklin Avenue construction project, from NE Fourth Street to NE Eighth Street, is reaching a new milestone. Work on the south side is nearly complete, and the road closure and detour are scheduled to switch directions—westbound will close to traffic, and eastbound will open. This change will begin on Nov. 5 and continue through early December to complete the next phase of construction. The full project is ahead of schedule and, weather permitting, is expected to be completed in early December.
Note: Dates are estimates and subject to change.
