The 27th Street Sewer project near the Highway 20 and 27th Street intersection has only created night time detours until now. Daytime construction and new traffic patterns begin soon. Day work will require reducing the travel lanes to a single northbound lane and a single southbound lane between Bear Creek and Forum Drive.

-Signal at intersection of 27th Street and Forum Drive will be disabled
-Medians and adjacent northbound and southbound lanes will be closed
-Right turns will only be allowed – no left turns or east-west travel
In addition, during the week of September 26, crews will begin work on South Third Street between Wilson Avenue and Powers Road. Construction activity will be limited to one side of the road at a time, with a single lane closure during construction hours only – 5 a.m. to 2 p.m.
