City provides update on Fairford Street closure

The city has provided an update on the street closure in the 200 block of Fairford Street East. 

The closure began on Aug. 10 and was scheduled to wrap up on Wednesday. 

The city is now saying that that closure is now set to impact the back alley on the 200 block of Fairford Street between Second Avenue Northeast and Third Avenue Northeast, rather than the street. 

Open excavation is planned for the area behind 235 Fairford St. E. Local traffic will only be able to access the alley off of Second and Third Avenue. 

Residents are reminded to follow all temporary detour signage and not to enter work zones or proceed past “Road Closure” signage or barricades for everyone’s safety.
