North Court Street Infrastructure Improvements Project
This project consists of replacing the existing storm tunnel under North Court Street (located near Fern Alley), reconstructing the brick pavement on North Court Street from Carpenter Street to Fern Alley, and repairing sections of the existing storm sewer. The project also includes select sidewalk repairs on East State Street, Grosvenor Street, Franklin Street and Morris Avenue.
During the remainder of this week and next week, York Paving Company will continue installing the new storm tunnel. Brick laying activities are expected to begin on Wednesday, August 15.
During this construction period, North Court Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from Rose Alley to Carpenter Street - a marked detour will be maintained for the duration of the project. There will also be times during the project that will require the temporary closure of either the east or west sidewalk adjacent to North Court Street to protect pedestrians from construction activities. During these times a sidewalk detour will be marked and maintained.
Businesses between West State Street and Carpenter Street will remain open during the project, according to their individual schedules.
