You’re Going To Want Avoid This Intersection For A While
Spring is here and that can only mean one thing. Construction.
Note: As always I did my own graphic for this story. I'm basically a MS Paint master.
The intersection of Riverside and North Main will be a bit of a mess for the next week.
The entire intersection will be down to one lane until at least next weekend.
WREX - "They're going to widen the lanes in some areas, they're going to put in a multi-use path which is a 10-foot wide pedestrian bicycle path that's off the roadway, a sidewalk on the other side of the road, decorative street lighting, decorative traffic signals," Capital Improvements Program Manager, Timothy Hienkens said. "They're going to make the intersection wider and safer to use."
It sounds like it's going to be worth the headache but in the meantime you might want to find a different route.
