Wilson Avenue Corridor Project Update – January 19, 2024

SAFETY FIRST 

Driving Hazards Caused by Melting Snow 

 As the weather warms up and the snow on the roads starts melting, it can create problems for driving. Warmer temperatures can cause snow and ice to melt quickly, leading to flooding conditions on the road. Reminder: During the usual overnight cool-down, if temperatures drop to or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the remnants of the snow can refreeze. 

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: January 22-26

STAGE 2 Improvements: Second Street to Fourth Street

• Crews will continue stormwater installation between Second Street and Third Street.
• Excavation work continues on the east side of Wilson Avenue between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

Wilson Avenue traffic in both eastbound and westbound directions is closed between Third Street and Fourth Street.
