In May, crews will do several construction activities at night near the Theater District Station on Commerce Street. First, the contractor will pothole near the existing station and S. 9th St. on the nights of Saturday, May 1 and Sunday, May 2 (and Monday, May 3, if needed).
Commerce St. will be closed between S. 7th St. and S. 9th St. during these nights. The contractor will return to remove part of the Theater District Station (May 10-14 at night) and install foundations for Link power poles in the station area (May 17-21 at night). On Commerce St. north of the Theater District Station, crews continue the track installation process and will excavate across S. 7th St. this week. Commerce St. is open to northbound traffic between S. 7th St. and I-705.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Way, crews will start installing pedestrian signals at S. 18th St. and will continue the Link power pole tie-ins from S. 17th St. to S. 15th St. Crews also will clean the rail, starting on the east side of MLK Jr. Way at S. 18th St. going north. “No parking” signs will be put up in advance of the rail cleaning. Please look at the dates on the signs – you may park there during the times not listed on the signs. On Division Avenue, crews continue to install track across J Street and I Street.
On E. 25th St., the contractor is installing track, curb and gutter near the expanded Operations and Maintenance Facility. As soon as May 10, the contractor will close E. 25th St. in both directions between McKinley Ave. E. and E. G St. (one block) to continue the track installation.
