- Lakeshore Road between Eastport Drive and North Shore Boulevard East / Maple Avenue
during a project to
- widen the road to include three lanes, including a turning lane and bike lanes;
- install curbs and sidewalks;
- install a new watermain and storm sewers; and
- install traffic signals.
Crews started working in late May to prepare for the project, but the road remained open during this work. Starting Monday, July 4, the city will impose rolling road closures, blocking the streets at various points to through traffic.
