Pavement work will take place at night between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Overnight traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction and crossing streets will be closed at intersections for up to one hour to allow proper cure time for the sealing process. Businesses open during the evening may experience access closures of up to 30 minutes.
