Bothar Construction crews will start by milling the road, which will be closed to all but emergency vehicles. Once paving begins, driveways and the entire roadway will be inaccessible until the asphalt cools. Sidewalk access will remain open.
Traffic will be rerouted using nearby streets, and the city warns that the schedule is weather-dependent. Residents are urged to avoid the area if possible.
