Starting at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, June 24, R.G Huston will commence construction on the Lake Street Sanitary Replacement Project. This project begins on the south side of University Ave at N. Lake St and extends north to 441 N. Lake St.

Phase 1 involves the closure of northbound N. Lake St. Access to the University Square Parking Garage and Lake & Johnson Parking Garage entrances will be maintained at all times. Southbound traffic will remain unchanged, but left turns from westbound University Ave onto southbound N. Lake St will be restricted, permitted only from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Phase 2 requires work in the intersection of University Ave & N. Lake St, necessitating several lane closures starting at the University Ave & Frances St intersection. During weekdays, northbound traffic on N. Lake St will be allowed to turn left onto University Ave; however, no traffic will be permitted through the University Ave intersection.

Weekend work may close northbound N. Lake St from Johnson St to University Ave and restrict left turns from University Ave to N. Lake St during this period. Additionally, University Ave may be reduced to one lane between Frances St and N. Lake St.

In Phase 3, northbound traffic on N. Lake St will be allowed to turn left or continue through the University Ave intersection while being restricted solely to northbound movement between University Ave and Langdon St.

The contractor is expected to complete all work within the University Ave intersection by July 26th, with general construction anticipated to last until the end of August.
