During construction, you can expect:
- Temporary parking and sidewalk closures.
- Construction signs and flaggers redirecting pedestrian and vehicle traffic as needed to maintain safety.

Crews completed underground cable construction and replacement in May 2025. We currently expect permanent restoration to start in spring of 2027. We will publish an updated timeline and daily work hours before construction begins.
