The closure of Sixth Avenue between Upas and Pennsylvania was initially anticipated to occur between July 21-29 for a sewer project. However the contractor ran into difficulties, and the road will be closed for an additional month to complete the installation of a junction structure.
Last week, soil sloughing occurred during the drilling operation at elevation 1-12 feet in an area close to a gas line. As a result the excavated area may grow wider to take more than half of the road. Since the site condition has created some concern, the contractor is evaluating other options and has requested keeping the road closed until the junction structure is safely in place. Be patient.
