New online resources for 6th St. improvement project beginning February 5

As a reminder, City Contractors will begin the 6th St. – Iowa St. to Mass St. pavement maintenance project on Monday, February 5, 2024, with the following closures:

• Kentucky St. will be closed at 6th St.
• 6th St. traffic will be reduced to one lane each direction, from Louisiana St. to Massachusetts St.; lanes return to normal at 6th St. and Massachusetts St.
• 6th St. westbound traffic will be unable to turn left onto southbound Tennessee St.
• Westbound 6th St. will be reduced to one lane from Michigan St. to Maine St.
• Additionally, beginning in late February, 6th St. will be reduced to one lane each direction from Maine St. to Florida St.

The City anticipates work on this portion of 6th St. to conclude this Fall. While impacts will vary during the different project phases, crews will always maintain at least one lane of traffic in each direction on 6th St. for the duration of the projects. Detour signs will be installed to better help travelers navigate the area.

To better help residents and drivers navigate the area, the City has updated the 6th St. Improvements Webpage to include fact sheets, Frequently Asked Questions, and an online question form to answer inquiries about the project.
