There had been a two week shutdown of major work activity on Marion Street
from the end of August until late last week.

Over the next two to three weeks construction crews will work mostly night
shifts, but also day shifts, repairing the roadway base to the asphalt
section of the street, adjusting utilities, grinding and removing the old
asphalt surface, overlaying a new asphalt surface (nigh time work), and
installing temporary and permanent pavement markings. Expect traffic to be
reduced to one lane on Marion Street during non-peak day time hours and
during night time work.
