Rietschlin Construction, Incorporated, the Contractor for the Richland Avenue Pedestrian Passageway Project, began construction activities this week on the project.
Construction of the project requires a closure on Richland Avenue between West Green Drive and Bobcat Lane. Local traffic will be maintained on West Green Drive and Bobcat Lane throughout the project. The vehicle detour is South Shafer Street and West Union Street. A detailed pedestrian detour utilizes temporary sidewalks and existing sidewalks to guide pedestrians to West Green and Baker Center.
Questions or concerns may be directed to the City of Athens Engineering and Public Works Department, 740-593-7636. Project updates will be posted on the City website www.ci.athens.oh.us.
