The existing curve, which carries one-way traffic from northbound Logan Avenue North onto one-way eastbound North 3rd Street, needs to be reconstructed. Due to the significant grade differences between the current roadway elevation and finished grade of the new road section (2-3 feet lower) it is not possible to maintain traffic through the curve during construction of the new roadway alignment. This portion of project construction will include excavating the new path of North 3rd Street, installing the roadway base, paving and connecting it to Logan Avenue North at the west end and existing North 3rd Street at the east end and is expected to take three weeks. However, to allow for contingencies or unexpected conditions or occurrences, a 4-week consecutive closure period is being requested. EXHIBITS: A. Issue Paper B.
