The next phase of the Caldwell Avenue Improvement project will begin on Sunday, July 9 at approximately 5 p.m.
“Work continues with inside lane intersection closures at the Akers, Linwood and Chinowth intersections and inside and outside lane closures at Shady Street,” provided Eric Bons, Senior Civil Engineer, City of Visalia. “Traffic delays associated with the closures can be expected and motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes, posted traffic detours will be in place.”
Residents and businesses will continue to have local access during the closures. Right hand turns on and off Caldwell Avenue will be open at each intersection for that local access, should motorists need to travel the area.
The inside lanes of Akers, Linwood and Chinowth Streets will be closed so that crews can rebuild and repave the inside lanes. Additionally, the Shady Street intersection (inside and outside lanes) will be completed during this phase. The top lift of asphalt along Caldwell Avenue. will also be installed from Akers to Demaree Streets.
The Akers, Linwood, Chinowth and Shady Street intersections will be in all way stop mode from July 9 at approximately 5 p.m. to July 18.
