Penn Avenue Reconstruction Phase II update

Penn Avenue Reconstruction Project Update

What’s happened so far

Work is underway on Phase II of the Penn Avenue Reconstruction project. Since March 9, the city’s contractor has been installing temporary speed humps on some streets around the project area. Work also started on removing the road surface on the south lane of Penn Avenue between Evaline Street and Pacific Avenue.

The contractor will continue excavation work before moving onto grading the surface. After that, work will begin on the crosswalks between the intersection.
