Street Closings 
 
 
Below is a list of streets that are currently closed for various construction projects, and the dates they are closed. Click "Notify Me" at the top of the page to receive these notices by email.

Weather and unforeseen circumstances occasionally prevent work from being completed and make it unsafe to reopen lanes or streets as planned. If this occurs, our traffic engineers work with other City staff and contractors to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and reduce further impacts to the traveling public.
