Final paving is anticipated to be completed by the end of June with red paint to be applied in early fall.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Once the north side of the road is paved, construction will flip to the south side of Fifth Avenue stretching from Kirkpatrick Street to Diamond Street to begin sidewalk and final road restoration activities. This phase of work is expected to begin in July and last through late fall.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">On Fifth Avenue, traffic remains a single lane traveling on the north side from the Boulevard of the Allies on ramp to Kirkpatrick Street then moving to the south side from Kirkpatrick Street to Diamond Street. \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">In Oakland, from Bellefield Avenue to Craft Avenue, the two left lanes &ndash; including the former counterflow lane &ndash; are closed. PRT contractors continue work to rebuild the roadway and sidewalks in preparation for the future bi-directional bike lane. \u200b \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">This phase of work will also create a new extended curb line that will widen the existing sidewalk. Several sections of the sidewalk adjacent to the future bike lane will be replaced. \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Throughout the construction corridor, access to intersections and local businesses will be maintained. Parking continues to remain restricted along both sides of Fifth Avenue.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Pedestrian access will continue to be provided through temporary walkways and ADA-accessible ramps.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Several bus stops are temporarily impacted during this phase of construction.
