Anka Street construction will impact 1810 Anka Street to the intersection with Commercial Street. Here’s what to expect starting July 13:  

• During active construction hours, Anka Street will be open to local traffic only and detour signage for through traffic will be in effect  

• Local access to businesses will remain open except for the day of paving, when only foot traffic beside the roadway will be allowed 

• Paving will take place on a Sunday from approx. 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and during paving, pedestrian traffic will be allowed but residents and businesses will not be able to access driveways or vehicles  

Keegan Street construction will impact the intersection of Keegan Street and Brothers Avenue. Here’s what to expect starting July 17:  

• During active construction hours, Keegan Street will be open to local traffic only with a detour available through Grant St.

Business owners and residents in both project areas will be notified of any additional closures that might limit access to property or driveways. Contact contractors SECON or Hollatz Engineering for help accessing properties during a closure.
