Construction activities are scheduled to happen at the following locations over the next two weeks.

The contractor will begin installing traffic signal poles on top of the foundations in the spring.

Construction Activities Will Continue at Sixth Avenue and Wood Street Next Week
The PRT contractor will continue to perform exploratory excavation and begin installation of new water and drainage infrastructure.
Construction fencing remains in place on Sixth Avenue between Wood Street and Liberty Avenue adjacent to Wood Street Station.
Currently, two travel lanes on Sixth Avenue heading toward Liberty (adjacent to Wood Street Station) are closed. Vehicles traveling on Sixth Avenue are forced to turn left or right onto Wood Street.
One travel lane is maintained so vehicles traveling on Liberty Avenue can turn right onto Sixth Avenue.
Underground utility work will continue at this location through the middle of April.
Final restoration of the street and sidewalk, including new ADA ramps will begin in the spring.
