• Timeline: about six months (weather permitting)
• Detours/signs: follow all detours and posted signage in the work area

Where the work is happening

Workzone Project S10B includes street work on roads bounded by S. 11th St. to S. 14th St. between Willis St. and Barrow St.

The City’s contract scope also covers activities such as removal and replacement of existing pavement sections, cement stabilization, concrete pavement work, repairs to curb and gutter, and installation of valley gutters.

Because construction is done in phases, the specific access and lane conditions can change. Drivers should rely on on-site detour routing and posted signage as the project progresses.

Detours, safety, and parking/towing warning

The City’s notice specifically asks drivers to follow all detours and posted signage and to use caution while traveling through the area.

It also asks residents and visitors to avoid parking in the street during construction. The City warns that vehicles may be towed if they aren’t relocated as needed.

How to keep up as conditions change

For the most up-to-date status and related work-zone tracking, check the City’s Street Projects page, which lists Workzone S10B in the C W Gill Park Area.

The City’s Street Maintenance Fund project listing also references S10B in the C W Gill Park Area and indicates it was previously postponed for utility improvements. Even with that context, crews may still adjust phasing—so it’s important to watch the posted signs in the work zone and re-check the City tracker as the project moves.
