DV Weber, the Contractor for the Richland Avenue Lighting and Sidewalk Project, expects to begin sidewalk work on the west side of the street on Monday, June 20. The southbound lane will be closed adjacent to the work zone and vehicle traffic will be directed to use the center and northbound lanes for travel. The sidewalk in the work zone will remain closed to pedestrians - pedestrian detour signage is in place.
The project is being completed with funds from Ohio University and the City of Athens.
Questions or concerns may be directed to the City of Athens Engineering and Public Works Department, 740-593-7636.
