ASHMAN STREET REDUCED TO ONE

LANE FROM BAKER TO BUTTLES STARTING MONDAY

Beginning Monday, June 27, reconstruction of Ashman Street from Nelson to Buttles streets will begin. This project involves replacing all the water mains on this segment of Ashman Street and removal and replacement of concrete curbs followed by complete pavement replacement.

During the first phase of the project, Ashman Street will be reduced to one lane of traffic from Baker Street to Buttles Street, to install water main in that area. Buttles Street will be reduced to one lane from Jerome to McDonald Street to install the water main across Buttles Street at Ashman. Indian Street from Rodd Street to Gordon Street will then be reduced to one lane when the water main is installed across that street.

Cross streets will experience intermittent street and lane closures during the first phase of the project.

The entire project is estimated to be complete by the end of September.
