BIG Plans for Saturday...includes road closures after-all

We received notification that a changes has been made to the paving schedule and procedures for the south side of Locust. The contractor will now be paving the south side of Locust St from 4th to 1st this Saturday, October 2 starting at 6a.m. The contractor had hoped to be able to pave 2nd St, 3rd St, and various entrances along Locust half at a time, but due to uncontrollable circumstances they now have to pave all in one day. This will result in a temporary closure of the entrances to 2nd, 3rd, PNC, NB&T and all other drives on the south side of Locust between 1st and 4th Street this Saturday starting at 6a.m. Each road/entrance will be opened as the paving is complete.

Alternate entrances have been arranged for both bank drive thrus and signage will be posted at either ends of Locust between 1st and 4th directing traffic to an alternate entrance to 2nd St. 3rd St. will remain open from Lincoln Highway, but will exit at Palmer Court. A flagger will be placed on 3rd St to assist with traffic.

Paving to leveling binder for the driving lane will be completed on Saturday. Parking lanes will be paved on Monday, but will not result in closures. Contractor will also continue to pour sidewalk and underlayment all along the south side. Light poles will also start to be installed next week.

Roadway work will be complete on the south side of Locust as of Friday, Oct 8 and move to the north side starting on Monday, October 11. The traffic control plan will reverse and all traffic will now enter Locust from 1st Street. There will be no parking on most of Locust at that time due to continued work.
