Drennan Construction has extended the temporary closure of the travel lane and parking lane on the northbound side S. Carrollton Avenue between Fig Street and Earhart Boulevard associated with the Marlyville-Fontainebleau Group C project. The closure is expected to last through 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21, pending the completion of all necessary environmental testing on a new waterline in the area. Signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels and fencing will remain onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians.
