Actual work will begin the week of September 8th, and that means during construction, Central Boulevard will be closed to thru traffic from 7am until 6pm Monday through Thursday. If necessary, work will take place on Friday, to stay on schedule. Driveways may be temporarily blocked. School busses and emergency services will have access during construction. Central Boulevard residents can expect minor disruptions to water service, once work begins.
