2nd Ave Reconstruction Detour Route2nd Avenue between B Street and 3rd Avenue will close for paving on July 29, 2026 and remain closed until September.

This closure marks the final phase of the 2nd Avenue Pedestrian & Bicycle Improvements project and will entail detouring traffic off a portion of 2nd Avenue while crews demolish, grade, pave, and stripe the roadway.

Thru traffic will be directed to designated detour routes. Pedestrian access will be maintained. All bicyclists must dismount and walk bicycles through the pedestrian route.

All scheduled road construction projects are subject to change due to weather, equipment, and project delays.

Thank you for your patience during construction.
