WHEELER STREET WATER MAIN INSTALLATION

PROJECT STARTS MONDAY

The first phase of a two-month-long water main construction project on Wheeler Street will begin the week of August 23.

Starting on Monday, August 23, Wheeler Street from Washington Street to Swede Avenue will be reduced to one lane of traffic until approximately October 1. Two-way traffic will be directed through the area by use of a flagging operation or signal control.

The second phase of the project, on Wheeler Street from Washington Street to Jefferson Avenue, will begin shortly following the first phase. This stretch of Wheeler Street will also be reduced to one lane for the duration of the project.

The two-phase construction process will help reduce inconvenience to local residents. October 31 is the estimated completion date for the entire project.
