Starting in February, construction will commence on the installation of a water main and services along the 200 block of 96th Street, spanning from Second Avenue to Third Avenue. The anticipated start date for the project is the first week of February, with an estimated duration of four weeks.

During the construction period, the roadway will be fully closed from Monday through Friday, specifically between the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm. However, to minimize disruptions, the eastbound lane will be accessible during non-working hours. Additionally, the roadway is set to reopen for weekends, starting from Friday after the completion of work and continuing until Monday morning.

Sidewalks will remain open throughout the construction process.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we undertake these essential improvements.
