MARKET STREET FROM GARLAND TO FRANCIS AVENUES EXPECTED TO REOPEN TO MOTORISTS BY THURSDAY, NOV. 26

The project to rehabilitate Market St. from Garland to Francis avenues is moving ahead. The concrete intersection at Queen Ave. and Market St. is being poured and the remaining sidewalks will be poured next week. Market St. from Wellesley to Francis avenues will reopen to traffic by Thursday. Until then, motorists are detoured to Crestline St. at Wellesley and Francis avenues; local access is being maintained on Broad, Wabash, Olympic, Queen, Diamond, and Rowan avenues from Haven to Market street. Motorists should expect lane closures as crews continue to work on the sidewalks. Market St. was being rehabilitated full-depth, curb-to-curb, existing curbs and sidewalks were replaced, and pedestrian lighting and trees will be installed from Heroy to Columbia avenues in the spring. This project also included paving the following dirt streets: Rowan, Sanson, Everett, and Wabash avenues from Market St. east to the railroad right-of-way.

 The $5.6 million project is being funded by the10-Year Street Bond and state sources.
