City officials say "a number of small factors" have pushed back completion of the downtown roads and sidewalk reconstruction project by a week.
Oct. 16 is now the end date for the work on 101st Street between 11th to 12th Avenue, and 12th Avenue from 100th Street to 102nd Street.
According to a city news release, concrete curb work and street light installation will be complete this week with paving stone work continuing on 12th Avenue in the coming weeks.
Paving, sign and fixture installation, crosswalk construction, tree planting and line painting are planned for next week.
Sections of the sidewalk on 101st street are open again to pedestrian traffic while the work continues, but 101st Street will remain closed to vehicle traffic until completion.
Also, 12th Avenue between 100th and 102nd streets remains closed to vehicles and pedestrians while sidewalk and roadway construction is underway. The roadway reconstruction work is being performed by G&C Asphalt.
City officials acknowledge the work will impede access to businesses in the area, however they will still be open and operational and they advise contacting the business you plan to visit to identify the best alternative access.
