September 4 Construction plans: traffic impacts expected
Carlisle Road
On Friday, August 31, the City’s contractor, Geneva Construction, will be milling Carlisle Road starting at around 9 a.m.; they expect to be done with that process by the time school is dismissed. To avoid disruption on a normal school day, Geneva Construction will be paving Carlisle Road on Tuesday, September 4, weather depending.
Wagner Road
Street Division crews will be replacing a failing culvert that runs the full width of Wagner Road between the entrances to Hoover-Wood Elementary School. Wagner Road will be fully closed to traffic at this location on Tuesday, September 4, for the entire day so the storm sewer work can be completed. Asphalt pavement restorations will be done at a later date. Wagner Road will be open to traffic by the end of the day on Tuesday.
Batavia Avenue/Wilson Street Intersection
Street Division crews will be replacing a damaged manhole frame in the intersection of Batavia Avenue and Wilson Street on Tuesday, September 4. Because of the manhole location, traffic will be greatly affected in all directions. Crews will begin the work at about 8 a.m., and we hope to have the work completed by early afternoon. During the work, LEFT turns from ALL four directions will be prohibited; northbound Batavia Avenue traffic will be reduced to one lane; and westbound Wilson Street traffic will be required to turn right onto Batavia Avenue, then left onto Houston Street, then left onto Lincoln Street to return back to westbound Wilson Street. Southbound Batavia Avenue traffic will have two lanes open, and eastbound Wilson Street will remain open throughout the work. Please try to avoid this intersection on Tuesday, September 4. Of course, this work is weather dependent; if we are unable to obtain asphalt that day the work will need to be rescheduled. Please see the attached map for the traffic control and detour route.
