Construction crews began utility work this week in the first segment of the East End Corridor.  

• The first segment of work is on Harrisburg, from Milby to Lockwood, where most of the utility relocation will take place
• On Monday (June 30) and Tuesday (July 1) surveyors completed layout work on a portion of the first segment, from Everton to Milby
• On Monday (July 7) the shoulder lane on the north side of the street will be blocked from Everton to Drennan.
• Crews will excavate a trench to work on utilities one block at a time and crews will work their way east (see map). 
• Crews will work on this first block for approximately 14 days (weather permitting)
• Toward the end of that period, crews will begin work on the next block east
• After work on each block has concluded, the trench will be closed and the pavement will be patched and re-striped
• This work will take place only during day-time (6 a.m. to 7 p.m.), except at intersections, where there will be no work during peak traffic periods (7 - 9 a.m. and 4 - 6 p.m.)
