Jackson Avenue to one alternating lane of traffic daily, 7 a.m. – 3 p.m., beginning Tuesday, September 18, through Friday, September 21, as work is performed on the water and natural gas distribution systems in the area.

Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the conditions encountered during excavation and construction.
