The Smedley intersection and this part of 11th Avenue will remain closed during construction; traffic will be directed to detours through posted signage. Access to businesses on 11th Avenue will remain open at all times.

“Please use caution when driving near construction areas and obey all traffic control personnel, signs, and devices,” noted the City in a news release. “We appreciate the public’s cooperation and patience as we make these improvements.”
