There will be temporary lane closures for the westbound and central turn lane located at 555 Monroe Street, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m, Monday through Friday, beginning today, April 14.
Work in the area necessitating temporary lanes closures will continue through Friday, June 27, as the projected completion date.
