South Elwood Avenue at West 71st Street South is closed to traffic as part of a private infrastructure widening project that was announced last year.
The closure, which runs along South Elwood Avenue from West 71st Street South towards W. 73rd Street, is expected to last until August 29.
The project includes widening the intersection to three lanes, storm sewer and channel construction, traffic signal replacements, new sidewalks and ramps, and new signage and striping.
The project is expected to be complete by early fall, weather permitting. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detour signs and use caution when travelling through the area.
