Heads up, drivers! Howes Street is going northbound only to the concrete jungle starting Jan. 6. Get the scoop!
Attention all drivers on Howes Street! Starting on January 6th, an important closure is set to take place at the intersection of Howes Street and Oak Street. The northbound lane will be shut down for approximately two weeks as construction crews begin to install brand new concrete paving. If you're in the area, you might want to adjust your routine and find an alternative route to avoid being trapped in traffic or missing your favorite coffee shop!
While the northbound traffic is halted, don't worry too much! The southbound lane will remain open for all of you heading that way. Whether you're commuting to work or just running errands, you’ll still have access to the southern part of Howes Street, so you can ease your coffee cravings or get to that important meeting. But be prepared for some detours if you're heading north!
For those who can handle a little extra excitement on their morning commutes, crossing through the alternating lanes might remind you of a game of traffic Tetris, where every maneuver counts! Keep your eyes peeled for the construction team as they work to enhance the roads; remember, they’re paving the way—literally. So next time you find yourself surrounded by roadwork, you can chuckle knowing they are building a smoother path for future travelers.
In the meantime, take a moment to appreciate the labor that goes into maintaining our urban spaces. Concrete paving not only improves the aesthetics of our streets but also enhances durability against the elements. Over the course of its then-foreseen lifespan, a new concrete path helps ensure our neighborhood remains a safe and walkable community. Buckle up, everyone, for this two-week ride to smoother travels!
