The City of Edmond
Water line and alleyway work: Contractors have begun saw-cutting and demolition work in the alleyway between Hurd and Campbell streets. When finished, new concrete will be poured in the north half of that alleyway beginning the morning of Aug. 7. Saw-cut and demolition work on the north half of the alleyway will begin after the initial concrete pouring is complete. The alleyway will reopen Aug. 11, with cooperative weather.
Boulevard lane closures: Boulevard southbound between 9th Street and 15th Street will have intermittent lane closures for water line construction as part of the FY20 Water Line project.
On-going projects
Main and Littler closures (updated): Fencing and preparation for the demolition of the Downtown Community Center is on-going. This will result in the closure of Littler Avenue, between First and Main streets. Previously planned to close, Main Street will reopen Monday and remain open through the end of this year. Beginning January 2024, Main Street will close from the Littler intersection to half a block west of the four-way stop. Those closures will remain in place for the duration of the City Center Complex project work. Several parking areas near the construction site will be closed, including the Littler Lawn parking areas, the east parking lot behind the Planning and Public Works building, and a portion of the City-owned parking lot on the northwest corner of Littler and Main. Closures are anticipated to take 20 months.
Main Street: Main Street is closed west of Broadway at the railroad tracks to N. Santa Fe Street while work is being completed on the Oxlley multi-family project, as well as streetscape and additional on-street parking on Main Street. With cooperative weather, the street will reopen in early December.
Fourth Street closure: As part of the Stephenson Park improvements project, work on the streetscapes and parking upgrades will have Fourth Street closed from Boulevard to Littler Avenue into September, with cooperative weather.
Completed projects
First Street closure: Concrete work has been completed and the road and alleyway reopened the afternoon of Aug. 3.
Water line and alleyway work: Water line work on the west side of Broadway has been completed and is reopened.
